Subject: Re: permissions issue on print to a file
You need to create the file with open permissions beforehand, instead of
allowing filepro to create it.

NEVER take this advice on using this methodology. EVER. Not if you value
the security and integrity of the resultant files.
Anyone intentionally using 'umask 0' deserves to have their system access
yanked immediately, IMNSHO. Anyone that can't see the inherent problems in
doing so shouldn't even be using a *nix system that lets them gain access
to a command prompt, but since someone lets them anyway, read this:

The sky in not falling. These files are utilitory. They are deleted
soon after they are used.<br>
After all, they do not contain secret information and I doubt someone
is going to have access to the system in that directory, on that day,
at that time and read the file within it's 5 or 10 minute life.<br>
<br>
I will keep my *nix card and use Brian's suggestion. It get's the job
done and solves a filepro issue.<br>
