Hi folks,

I'm about to add a flag to mkfifo that allows you to specify creation
mode. NetBSD does this already.

However, there's a difference in the way our mkfifo and NetBSd's mkfifo
create files. We create with permissions 0777 modified by umask. NetBSD
creates with permissions 0666 modified by umask.

I can't see why we use 0777. Would bad things happened if I changed this
to 0666 while I'm in there?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
