Does anybody here know if there is a standard that defines what should happen when chmod'ing a symlink? GIVEN: $ ln -s somefile somelink $ ls -l somefile somelink -rw-r--r-- 1 sleas sys 0 Oct 20 22:21 somefile lrwxr-xr-x 1 sleas sys 8 Oct 20 22:21 somelink -> somefile If I "chmod 600 somelink", should that act upon somefile, or should that change the perms on the symlink inode itself? I ask because I have seen both behaviors on different systems. While I'm at it, what does Linux do? -Shawn <=========== America Held Hostage ===========> Day 2099 for the poor and the middle class.
