Hi!
What peculiar feature is it, that symlinks have modes !=0777 depending on
the umask when they have been created?

# umask 0777
# ln -fs xx yy
# ls -l yy
l---------  1 pruess  sophie  2 Sep 29 13:54 yy@ -> xx
# umask 0000
# ln -fs xx yy
# ls -l yy
lrwxrwxrwx  1 pruess  sophie  2 Sep 29 13:55 yy@ -> xx

Of course the mode is inaccessible by chmod.

Thanks,
Gunnar
