Hi! What peculiar feature is it, that symlinks have modes !=0777 depending on the umask when they have been created? # umask 0777 # ln -fs xx yy # ls -l yy l--------- 1 pruess sophie 2 Sep 29 13:54 yy@ -> xx # umask 0000 # ln -fs xx yy # ls -l yy lrwxrwxrwx 1 pruess sophie 2 Sep 29 13:55 yy@ -> xx Of course the mode is inaccessible by chmod.
