Asterisk doesn't change file permissions. Maybe your startup script does?

You should treat the cause, not the symptom.

This is a bad idea. Do you really want anybody to be able to delete or 
modify this file? What would happen if I were to replace this file with 
one containing 'rm --force --recursive /' and then call in?

'777' says 'I really don't know what I'm doing and I'm too lazy to try to 
figure it out.' Guess how many files have '777' on any freshly installed 
OS?
