Ah, I see. Yes, I suppose being able to manipulate the files is a bonus :) My 
server currently is sitting about a foot away from me, and I'm writing this 
email on it now, so root privs are pretty much a given. (soon to change, when 
I buy a network card tomorrow, the new server will be about two feet away, 
and I won't be writing emails on it :)

It makes sense in a more multi-user environment than mine. It may be worth 
putting the umask into the default setup, as it seems that apache (at least a 
mostly standard Debian installed apache) runs with 000 as it's mask, which is 
a bit suboptimal.
