The most likely reason the mode of the tty is being changed back is that
"getty" is being run on it; any port waiting for a login is owned by "root"
and has mode "rw--w--w-", unless "getty" has been changed not to do this.
There's probably no mysterious daemon changing the mode and owner of things
in "/dev", just good old "getty".
