Comment # 5 on bug 1099757 from Bernd Helber

Ok..
Firstly.. collecting all Permissions and winning the "useles cat Award

find /var/lib/rhn/ -type f   > /var/tmp/spfilelist.txt

for i in `cat /var/tmp/spfilelist.txt `; do ; do stat -c  "%A %a %n" $i; done

Collecting all existing Symlinks on the Box..


find -L /var/lib/ -xtype l > /var/tmp/symlinks.txt

for i i in`cat /var/tmp/symlinks.txt`:  do ls -altr $i; done


###Seems to be fine
rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jun 15 19:29 /var/lib/rhn/search/indexes/docs ->
/usr/share/rhn/search/indexes/docs


### Seems to be wrong ####


lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat tomcat 31 Jun 30 11:41 /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/snippets
-> /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/


ls -latr /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/


drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat tomcat   189 Jun 30 07:04 centos

Symlink... 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat tomcat    31 Jun 30 11:41 snippets ->
/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/
drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat tomcat    15 Jun 30 11:46 spacewalk
drwxr-xr-x 4 tomcat tomcat  4096 Jun 30 11:46 .

Seems to be a Layer 8 User issue, not a Bug. sorry for bothering.
