Changing permissions on the sysbolic linked file ?

[Striker99]

All,

I have the following direcotry under /data with full access.

drwxrwxrwx 4 user3 user3 96 Jul 18 08:39 scripts

I have created a symbolic link to this direcotry from / with the following rights/users

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 12 Jul 16 12:09 scrpts - data/scripts

My problem is the i want to change the user/group to user3 for /scripts. The chmod/chgrp/chown executes without errors but the permissions/user/group for /scripts does not change.

How can i manage to change the rights/user/group on /scripts ?

thanks,
striker99

Hi,
Use the -h flag with chown -

#chown -h user3 /scripts

Hope this helps.
