Having issues setting up WebDAV (mod_dav & apache)

Heya,

If you don't already know apple began charging for their iTools service (rightfully so IMO), and I wanted to make something for my local users that was kinda sorta the same. Let me break down what I need and what I have been trying to do so far.

iDisk = WebDAV share that a user can login to and put files in, this is the key to this puzzle as all files for the web services and file sharing need to end up here.
IMAP,WebMail =Easy already done
WebPage = also all done

This is the current setup
http://server/~username/ = webpage in /home/userame/public/html
http://dav.server/~username/ = WebDAV in /home/username/public/

Now heres the problem this all works riight now except when file are put on to the WebDAV the files are created by the user apache in group apache with umask 027 which makes them useless to the user. I am at a total loss now. I know that I want to enable SSL on the dav server because OSX 10.2 supports it but for right now its not a problem as it doesn't work.

I am using the newest apache and mod_dav from portage. Please help!

Thank you,
-JohnMac
