ah yes, this is easy, either type: umask 002 before working in /var/www or add that command to your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent. note this umask is only safe if you use the `private group' system, where your primary group is one which you exclusivly belong to. this is debian's default setup. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
