  | Curious if anyone has used mod_umask, and if so did they
  | experience any problems with it ?
  | From what I can tell it is the only way (other than recompiling
  | apache) to change the umask of Apache-created files.

 files do not have a umask.
 processes have a umask.
 I presume this thingie changes the umask that is in effect
 when a certain class of file is created, restoring the old
 umask after that creation is done.  if it does not restore
 the old umask, then what is the point?: just set the umask
 before launching Apache, as you do with any other program.

cheers!
