How do you change the permissions for a symbolic link?

# ls -l temp1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 312 Oct 24 11:00 temp1
# ln -s temp1 temp2
# ls -l temp2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 5 Oct 24 12:00 temp2 -> temp1
# chmod 655 temp2
# ls -l temp2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 5 Oct 24 12:00 temp2 -> temp1

Thanks in advance!
