Phoenix.pm: dumb question

Hmm.. umask only blocks permissions, it never assigns them.  I think there's
a global umask out there somewhere - anyone with *longing sigh* Unix correct
me if I'm wrong?  Anyhow, if I'm not, you may just be able to disable that
and have 0777 as your default permissions then.

Otherwise, my suggestion (nasty as it may be) is to cron a chmod -R

OK, so I have an updater that writes files to a folder. On the old server,
we did something kinky so the new files would write with permissions of
-rwxrwxrwx when created into the various folders. I am trying to figure
out how to set up the directories to just automatically change permissions
to files written to them and have gotten nowhere with the man files for
chmod or umask.

Any suggestions?
