Thanks for the reply, I have actuall tried the
following also:
1.) changing my default umask to 022 in my
.bash_profile directory of root's home. This should
take care of it as far as I can tell from bash's
documentation.
2.) adding "*default umask=022" to my sup-file.

I seriously can't come up with a solution to this. I
did update my /src also before. I rebuilt the kernel
fine and thought that I had followed the directions,
but....if something in this process could've messed it
up...???? Hmm..........I have no idea, as I said
before, I am at a loss for words at this point. Any
other ideas????
