changing a hard link
lr--r--r-T
All the other machines have the same links with permissions of:
lrwxrwxrwt
Can the links be changed, or do they have to be removed and re-established?
Thanks,
Ron

Re: changing a hard link
The permissions of a link are meaningless. Further, it appears that this is a soft, transition link. What is the file in question?
Please provide 'ls -ls' output.
Regards!

Re: changing a hard link
Permissions of lr--r--r-T indicates a soft link, not a hard link. A hard link will not have the leading 'l'.
Example:
# ln xxx yyy
# ll xxx yyy
-rw-rw-rw- 2 root sys 0 Jul 11 15:19 xxx
-rw-rw-rw- 2 root sys 0 Jul 11 15:19 yyy
### yyy is a hard link and the permissions are valid ###
# rm yyy
# ln -s xxx yyy
# ll xxx yyy
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Jul 11 15:19 xxx
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 3 Jul 11 15:19 yyy -> xxx
### yyy is now a soft link and the permissions are ignored ###

Re: changing a hard link
