What's the point of monitoring for it?  To let you know you need to correct
them?  If that, why not just put a cron job in place that sets them
properly?

Hi guys

I have a *directory *on a client system, and it needs to have permission
of 777
From time to time, automated software updates sets it to 770.
I am looking for a way to check this, and alert when permissions are not
as they should be.
Any advice appreciated.

Regards
Vernon
