Permissions are complicated and can be very
frustrating for inexperienced users (that's
why BasicLinux avoids them).  If you know 
enough to manage permissions successfully,
then you know enough to change the defaults
yourself.

Actually, you put it in /etc/rc just once.  
Then it works automatically each time.
