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?
