neh. messing around with what /sbin/init is nasty. better solution
is adding umask 022 to /etc/init.d/rc, using /etc/initscript (im not
totally sure how this works rtfm...) or patching init to call
umask(022);
the kernel developers seem to beleive the latter is the correct
solution, i tend to agree to that, but i don't agree that the kernel
should start processes with a broken umask to begin with.
