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
