I'm not aware of which mod, or part of apache is creating the files, I 
do know that the files are being created by apache, and are being 
created in htroot & must have permissions 775.

Apache's default umask (compiled in I believe) is set as 755, and ways 
of changing are apparently editing the apachectl (however i added umask 
002 to this, and it made no difference) and mod_umask was created (with 
mod_dav in mind I believe).

At this point, I'm thinking umask is not the way to go - since files 
/must/ be 775, and umask sets files to 666 max.
Problem is - I'm at a slight loss as to how to set file creation mask 
(any googling only throws up umask or mod_umask, and not much of 
anything else useful).

Regards,

Sean
