umask=0 will let everyone read, write, and execute
umask=22 is a bit safer (IMO) and only lets root (the owner and group) read,
write, and execute but leaves others with only read and execute permissions.
its more secure that way. your choice, of course, what access rights you
wish to give... btw, umask permissions work by subtracting from mode 777
(rwxrwxrwx) so umask=22 sets the permissions as mode 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
