It's a strange question anyway - You want a single file to have permissions (suppose 755) in one directory, and some different permissions (suppost 700) in some other directory? Then some users could access the file if they use path A, but would be denied access to the same file if they used path B? That's weird. It makes no sense to attempt setting perms on a symlink. The perms are determined by the actual file. The symlink is just another name for the file itself. If you want to change perms of the file, change the perms of the file. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
