Some distributions include a utility that (when invoked at startup)
resets the permissions on certain critical files. That's all the
detail I know (except for one more thing: Slackware doesn't do this),
so you are going to have to tell us which distro you are using, and
we'll have to get the gurus involved.

I can answer this one: add the command to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local (or
equivalent) startup script.
