First, I really appreciate you helping me out with this. I've been on other forums and nobody has tried to help as much as you have.
1) The files that are being uploaded can go to hundreds of different folders. We have multiple sites using the uploading scripts, and within those sites users can choose to upload the files in various places.
2) The users on our sites have no correlation to our unix users. On the sites we're having the most problems with, there's an average of about 50 users, with all usernames defined by the user.
3) I didn't even know about umask until your last post. The only thing I know how to do with it now is type it in and get 0022 in response, which I think means all uploaded files will be given 644 permissions. I did man umask but I couldn't even figure out where to find the umask info. It listed all the bash builtins and I got confused.
We did figure out that we only have this problem at certain times. The only times we know of so far is sometime around 11:00 pm MST and between 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm MST. Between 5:00 and 6:00 it's very rare that the file gets uploaded with the correct permissions. We must have done 30 uploads in that time span and only 3 or 4 were uploaded correctly. We were running top at the same time, but we couldn't find any odd-looking processes running.
Thanks again for your help.
