Owner/Group/Permissions of symlinks are completely irrelevant for readlink as well as access to the file/directory the link points to. The only point where I've found a relevance is if you want to remove the link again from a sticky directory, e.g. /tmp. Should *that* be a problem, see the -h option of chown. So why do you really worry? >[...] Kind regards, Hannah.
