Output should look like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 havoc havoc 7 Dec 6 12:50 MyTmp -> /tmp/me

The date and user/group names will be different for you, of course. Notice that the file type is l, indicating that this is a symbolic link. Also notice the permissions: Symbolic links always have these permissions. If you attempt to chmod a symlink, you’ll actually change the permissions on the file being pointed to.

chmod 700 MyTmp

You will get a No such file or directory error, because the file /tmp/me doesn’t exist. Notice that you could create a symlink to it anyway.

mkdir /tmp/me

Creates the directory /tmp/me.

chmod 700 MyTmp

Should work now.

touch MyTmp/myfile
