Make them world writeable.

I don't know why the Nepal team wants to insist on ultimate super high
security all the time.  Security is not there to make your life
miserable.  In many cases it isn't there for any reason at all;
somebody did it for their own situation, which doesn't match your
situation.  If it gets in the way, turn it off!  That's why there is a
switch.
