create a symlinks as a user:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bash</tmp>$ ln -s cycle cycle
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bash</tmp>$ ls -al cycle
lrwxrwxrwx 1 timj timj 5 Jun 16 02:41 cycle -> cycle
copy the symlink with mc as root from cycle to loop:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bash</tmp># ls -al cycle loop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 timj timj 5 Jun 16 02:41 cycle -> cycle
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jun 16 02:41 loop -> cycle
ownership isn't preserved here, loop should also be owned by
timj.timj as it works with files.
