May I also say that the OP didn't post the very reason he have to try to do so. For whatever reason he have decided to modify root permissions. Can he give us this very reason (if it's possible to discuss it in a public list), there are _certainly_ more adequate solutions, without the security drawbacks.

How do I tell YOU to not reset my custom permissions for /root/ ?Could you elaborate, please?
What are those permissions you are refering to?
I have set it to be viewable by all.
Every time YOU runs it resets the permissions so that only root can
view the directory.
that resets the permissions, but SuSEconfig). I think you can
overwrite this entry with a custom entry in the /etc/permissions.local
file.

I'm amazed at Michael's ability to hand out this information
(apparently with a straight face) to a user who didn't know how
to do this (suggestive of someone fairly new to linux), without
even once pointing out what a dumb idea this is.
