Today, I went to check an htpasswd file that CCBill writes to on new sales. It needs to communicate with that file to generate the new user as well as update so user has access.

The file is supposed to be set at 666 and was done so on 12-24-11 by me because new members not being able to sign up, those that could somehow signup could not log in because that file was not written to.

Today, I checked the file again and it was back to 644.

This is not the first time i've noticed this anomaly. It has happened on other sites as well with this same exact file.

Has anyone had this happen to this file? Any ideas?
