Incorrect permissions on /dev/shm (CentOS 6)

Distro: CentOS 6 64-bit

VM type: KVM

/dev/shm gets incorrect permissions on boot. It should be mounted 1777, but is 0755 instead.

I guess I could put something in /etc/rc.local to fix it after boot, but I'm wondering if there's a "better" way. Ideas appreciated :)

[root@sal:~] ls -ld /dev/shm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Apr  1 08:38 /dev/shm
