chmod 777 (or even 666) to the control socket (asterisk.ctl) allows
everybody on the system to write to it, and hence have full control of
Asterisk. In short: bad. You fix things with chown, not with chmod
666/777 .

And anyway, for it to have a lasting effect you need to set up the
permissions in asterisk.conf anyway.
