It could be an unset UMASK...

On a different note, when are these files created? (ie. when do you
fire up these servers?) If you do it from an rc file then you should
be safe; otherwise if you do it at an arbitrary time after boot, is
there the possibility of someone beating you to tmp and making links
all over? (ie. ln -s /etc/shadow /tmp/daemonstat.any.80 or whatever)
