26 /* The lchmod replacement follows symbolic links. Callers should take
27 this into account; lchmod should be applied only to arguments that
28 are known to not be symbolic links. On hosts that lack lchmod,
29 this can lead to race conditions between the check and the
30 invocation of lchmod, but we know of no workarounds that are
31 reliable in general. You might try requesting support for lchmod
32 from your operating system supplier. */
