When my scripts are completed, they will be running on a apache process on other than 'nobody', and will handle only this script -- at which time the mode will be 755 (or maybe not even that open). But right now, I want to be able to telnet in and play with the directories manually while I am writing the script and testing, and since I can't log in as nobody (I don't have access) I need to have the script create the directories public write.
