Hi all,

while trying gamin (a file alteration monitor, like fam), I found that it
refuses to work because it detects that the local sockets it creates
have "too much permissions" (that is, 777).

As I see in our code, local sockets are always created with this
mode, regardless of the user's umask.  Is this correct?  And if so,
why?

FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux respect the umask.  If our behavior is
not correct, what about the following patch?
