The link owner is relevant only to modifying or removing the link itself, and since you're managing it via Puppet, I don't see what purpose it serves to relax the permissions for that. The link owner and permissions have no relevance to *traversing* the link (see symlink(7)). John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
