Manually linking ADVFS domains

Hello Managers,

I've been able to successfully build ADVFS domains manually as follows:

#mkdir /etc/fdmns/new_dmn
(The file set already exists on the target disk--rz1c)
#cd /etc/fdmns/new_dmn
#ln -s /dev/rz1c rz1c


The new domain and existing fileset can be mounted and seem to work properly.
What bothers me, however, is the permissions on the linked files.
When using mkfdmn, the permissions are always lrwxr-xr-x. When using the
procedure above, the permissions are lrwxrwxrwx.

I have tried umask 022 before linking but get the same results. I have
checked the man pages on ln and chmod but see nothing that relates.

I am concerned about security.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
