change the protections on /sbin/init. For some silly reasons it is

    -r-x------  1 bin  bin  180224 Mar 25  1997 /sbin/init

and the client cannot read it unless the server exports with root privs.


I have been suggesting a change of permissions in /sbin/init for years
for this exact reason, but never got heard...
