I want to do this:

Code: Select all

 chown denise:users <link>
But when I do this I get no error message, but nothing changed.
Is this normal?

A symlink always inherits the permissions of the file (directory, etc) it points to. There is no way to change the ownership or the permissions of the file through the link. Such requests will silently fail, so you have to change the ownership of the "original" file.
