I use FUDforum under a CGIWrap that runs PHP scripts under the UID of the owner of the file, rather than under the UID of the webserver, and CGIwrap won't run a file if it is group writable, so in the places where files are unlocked, the permissions have to be set to 0644, not 0666, and directories need to be 0755, not 0777. It would be good if FUD would pick up these values from GLOBALS, rather than having them fixed in the code, and then, on installation, a check could be made to set the appropriate value in GLOBALS ("Do you run under CGIWrap?" If yes, then set $GLOBALS['UNLOCKED_FILE_PERMS'] to 0644, otherwise set it to 0666, and set $GLOBALS['UNLOCKED_DIR_PERMS'] to 0755, otherwise set it to 0755.

This would make my life easier on the next upgrade, because I'm sure I'm going to forget to change all the 0666 to 0644 and then I'll watch my forums come to a halt until I remember what I had to do.

Thanks,
Pete.
