Hi

I'm not sure whether symlinks should have, or not have, modes.
But in my 4.2-STABLE system they have:

drwxrwx---   2 hans     users         512 Sep 15 12:21 .
lrwxr-xr-x   1 hans     users           7 Sep 15 12:12 bla3 -> ../bla2
lrwxrwxr-x   1 hans     users           7 Sep 15 12:15 bla4 -> ../bla2

The symlink modes were set by having umask 22 and umask 2

The modes cannot be changed by chmod, but according to CHMOD(1)
'Symbolic links do not have modes' which appears not to be true. So
perhaps this man page should be updated, or something else is broken.

Please also reply to hans@lambermont.dyndns.org as I'm not on -fs

Hans
