The permissions should stay the same once they are set. I have /tmp
on it's own partition and I only had to set it once. Note that
the permissions HAVE to be 1777 (that's read, write, and exec for
everyone, with the sticky bit set). If you're trying to set it to
something else, there might be something in the startup scripts
that is reseting it back to it's standard values (although I didn't
see anything in there doing that), hence the need to change it's
permissions each time.

preserved. lost+found is special.
