Dazed and confused under suexec, part II

Found some old mail from my brother to a FAQ at the place hosting this site. It of course explains the whole thing with suexec and having permissions like:

$ find . -print -exec chmod go-w {} \;

It would be nice then if my umask were not 0002. That means any time I unpack a tarball all the CGI file permissions are going to be wrong by default. The only one there sharing my group is my brother anyway. I wonder why I have to be so worried about that. Is it easier to crack our group than to crack our passwords?
