[NTLUG:Discuss] Is there a way to change permissions of a link

[Neil Aggarwal]

Steve:

Thank you for the long disucssion of how symbolic links work.
It was really very informative.

But my initial questions still remains.  Since the link is just
a file, it has its own set of permissions.  Shoudlnt I be able to make
the symlink readonly but have the file it points to be read/write?

If so, how can I do this?

Thanks,
        Neil.
