[PLUG] Altered Directory Permissions

   This has been going on for a long time; now I want to understand what's
happening.

   I use the /opt directory (owned by root.root) for locally-built,
non-distribution applications. As such I set the permissions to 777 so I can
access it and all subdirectories. Every now and then, on an infrequent and
unpredictable schedule, the permissions revert to 755.

   What might be possible causes of this change?
