I have these links from my web directory; root# cd /usr/local/www/data/fax/ root# ls -l lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Mar 29 16:37 chantelle -> /usr/chantelle/fax lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 14 Mar 10 00:15 david -> /usr/david/fax I can't change the permissions on them. It's because the permissions are dependent on the linked directory right? Doesn't seem so; root# ls -ld /usr/chantelle/fax drwxrwxrwx 2 chantelle wheel 512 Mar 30 02:26 /usr/chantelle/fax root# ls -ld /usr/david/fax drwxrwxrwx 2 david wheel 512 Mar 30 02:40 /usr/david/fax root# Even going further upstream doesn't show anything; root# ls -ld /usr/chantelle drwxr-xr-x 7 chantelle wheel 1024 Mar 29 23:13 /usr/chantelle root# ls -ld /usr/david drwxr-xr-x 68 david wheel 5632 Mar 29 22:23 /usr/david I am having a problem writing to the top dir shown, (chantelle) but not the following one (david). Anyone understand this?
