Folder that always has 777 permissions?

[undecim]

I have a folder that I would like to be completely a public directory. THat is, I want every file and subfolder to always have 777 or be treated as if it had 777 permssions.

Only way I can think to do that is with a cron job to check it a couple times an hour. Is there as better way to do this?

Change the default mask in /etc/profile
$ sudo gedit etc/profile
default is mask 022 -> all new files are 755
change to mask 000 -> all new files are 777

But that is global not just one folder.
