If it is a symbolic link, chmod does not touch it's permissions. Also, in recursive
mode, chmod
does not follow symbolic links.
The permissions of symbolic links are basically ignored, and the permissions of the
target are
enforced. (I just had a run-in with file permissions set while moving a massive perl
site to a new
machine).
