What I mean is that permissions of the web repository (HTML dir.)
and files in it become '600' instead of '655' (as I've set them once)

I have Orca and orcallator.se both running as 'root'.

from experience doubt that this would force files to be
'600' when they're regenerated at midnight.

Thanks all for responses. I am amazed at the speed, accuracy
