Make sure proper permissions stay set for VirtualBox in OpenSuse 11.1

The problem:

running the following:

$: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox

gives you this following:

$: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox

/usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 1: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox:  Permission denied.

The reason:
If SuSEconfig runs it resets the permissions of the files defined in /etc/permissions*.

The solution:

sudo chmod o+x /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox
Open the file > /etc/permissions.easy < with vi, goto the end and change the lines of VirtualBox from permission 4750 to 4755.
Save, Quit.
