NVIDIA permissions

Hi, 

I have found with the latest NVIDIA drivers that I keep getting error
messages indicating that /dev/nvidiaactl could not be opened because of
restrictive permissions. So, following the README, I
edited /etc/security/console.perms (removed line with <dri>) and ran 
chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* followed by chown root /dev/nvidia*.

The problem is I have to do this after each reboot. Is there a way to
make this stick?
