localhost billw # lha /dev/hdc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jun 19 14:06 /dev/hdc -> ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd but for some reason I am (even as root) unable to change them. After: localhost billw # chmod 764 /dev/hdc the permission remain as above. I have to admit I don't think that I have a full understanding of how the permissions on the symlink work. I suspect it is something simple, but I can't quite put my finger on it? Bill -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
