How to set default CHMOD in LINUX terminal?

Previous Question just to understand what I'm doing: How to set chmod for a folder and all of its subfolders and files in Linux Ubuntu Terminal?

So if I change the chmod to 755 for chmod 75 /opt/lampp/htdocs and I restart the system I want the files to be in chmod 755.

+2 A:

Once set, linux filesystem permissions are unaffected by rebooting the system, unless you have some non-standard software running at boot time which is going back to change them to some default.

Hmm I'm on Windows 7 with `VirtualBox` because currently I'm testing something, do you think it's because of `VirtualBox` and If I will use a real Linux will save the changed chmod?

a) I'm positive that file permissions are persistent on a standard linux install b) are you sure you're not starting from a snapshot of your virtualbox instance where the permissions are not set? Try taking a new image of your machine after they're set how you'd like.

If some process is changing them at boot, place a changeback in /etc/rc.local.

err... shouldn't we ideally track the offending process instead of ignoring the problem?

I gave up tracking the automation system in ubuntu long ago. I'm convinced the developers do not understand Unix anymore.
