chmod

[Joe Profaizer]

Need to change mods on /bin which is linked to /usr/bin.

Need to change from:
lrwxr-xr-x

to:

lrwxr-xr-t


Thanks!

Hi,
I havent yet found a way to do a chmod on links, my only solution I can offer is to say 1) remove the link
2) set the appropriate umask (022 or what ever)
3) recreate the link ln -s ...

All the best

Victor

Hi,

chmod changes the source file not the symbolic link, chmod -t filename should work.

hope this wil help,

Hi Joe:

'/bin' is a transition link to 'usr/bin' (or should be!). Ideally, you should reference '/usr/bin' instead of '/bin'. If however, you have lost the transition links (/lib -> /usr/lib is another one), then do this:

# tlinstall
