What you did was exactly correct -- the improper permissions are a bug
in that release of apache. You may want to upgrade to the latest
package, apache_1.1.1-8, which fixes some other things as well. It's
available in bo/ on the FTP site.
I'm the new maintainer of this package, so please let me know if you
have any more problems.
