The permissions, ownership, and timestamps on a symbolic link are never referenced by the Unix Kernel. Thus, no API is provided to make changes to the useless values. *Applications* which look at the non-referenced information should be deleted, and the programmers who write such bad software should be hung up, shot, then burned at the stake.
