So > perhaps this man page should be updated, or something else is broken. Where does the manpage say that? My manpage for chmod says: -h If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link itself rather than the file that the link points to. It would help if you mentioned which version of FreeBSD you're running, and when the chmod manpage you have was last updated. A quote from the manpage would be nice too. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
