Not having a umask and relying on an ACL mask just seems instinctively icky,
in a "what happens if for some reasons ACLs are removed" kinda way. But it'd
certainly work (although these are "scponlyc" accounts uploading straight to
a DocumentRoot with no home environment, so I'd need to set a umask of 000
via a class in login.conf). I'll give it some thought :)

Thanks,
