A few questions. First, the link is a symbolic link. Would making it a hard link fix the problem? How do you make a hard link? Also, is there a way to find out, in numeric terms, the permissions of a file or directory? Keeping up with what 755, rwx--r--r or whatever, etc. means when compared to each other is a bit difficult for me at times.
