Description
I have a more restrictive umask on my system: 0027
However, the file & directory permissions seem to be explicitly enforced by the boost module.
I have had to manually patch boost so that created files are 640 and created directories are 750.
Please add the ability for the user-interface to either explicitly specify the file and directory permissions or provide an option to disable the internal permissions enforcement.

Looks like a textfield, where one can enter what ever permission numbers they want, would be the idea solution.
#2
Here's a quick patch, testing would be appreciated.
