Replicating Permissions (Merge Repl)

How do I replicate permissions for articles in a merge repl publication?
I've read that if you replicate the syspermissions table, the permissions
will follow the objects, but I can't figure out how to view/include a sys
table when defining the articles.
I've generated a 'set permissions' script that I manually run on the
subscriber, but if that ends up being the only way I can set permissions on
the subscriber, how can I automate that process - as I will have appx 10-15
non-concurrent subscribers.
Thanks for any/all help!

Wow! Where did you read that?
You need to replicate them as part of a post snapshot command. You can keep
them in sync by manually scripting out the permissions and applying them
through sp_addscriptexec if you are applying your snapshots as a file copy
(unc). This won't work with snapshots deployed via ftp.

|||Thanks Hillary - that helps a bunch. Here's a link to the syspermissions
mention that I made:

I like your solution much better! Thanks again!

UDFs, and post to set permissions), but I'm getting the following error:
The schema script '\\RMPPLUS2SQL01\E$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\ReplData\unc\RMPPLUS2SQL01_ResiDD_RES IFLD2_RESIFLD2\20051215104323\InitializeCompliancU DFs_0.sql' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
I had no trouble propagating the Replication scripts. Now that I've added
the pre-snapshot script, it's no longer working. Any ideas?
