Permission errors are one thing, but really it's a division of responsibility problem. Establishing that the appropriate standard directories are present is a problem that should be solved in packaging, not at runtime. The only directories that should ever be created at runtime are those whose location is dependent on runtime information (such as Kerberos caches whose location is based on the UID of the user logging in). When we run 'make install' from source, we *do* create all of the standard directories we expect to use (including /var/lib/sss/mc, I just verified).
