I sometimes start midnight commander as superuser with the command sudo mc to do some operations on the current working directory as superuser.

But this results in ~/.mc having the wrong permissions, which I need to fix manually.

Any solution?

Edit:

I accepted an answer. I want to further add, that .mc is a directory, so my solution goes like this:

$ cd ~  
~$ sudo chown -R mit.mit .mc
~$ chmod 775 .mc 
~$ cd .mc 
~$ chmod -R 664 .mc 
~/.mc$ chmod 775 cedit

It seems not to be a good idea after installing mc to use sudo on its first start .
