are you doimng sall thr changes logges in as root...if not you settings might be reseting because a normal user is trying to change settings. also i have heard that some people have a program that is settings are changed they will revert back an hour later for testing purposes

ahha! looks fixed... Mandrake has a cron task that runs every hour which checks security and resets everything back to "022" grrr.. so ive edited it to not do that :) so far so good..

Thanks to Gryphon in IRC :D
