 Title: #5526: ipatests: fix ipahealthcheck fixture _modify_permission
Action: opened
PR body:
"""
The test is storing the initial file permissions obtained with 'stat',
then modifies them, calls ipa-healthcheck and reverts the permissions
to the original value.
When the file is a symlink, stat returns the permission of the link,
not of the pointed-to file. But chmod modifies the permissions of the
pointed-to file, not of the link.
As a consequence, the fixture does not properly restore the original
file permissions.
The fix consists in calling 'stat -L' because the command follows
links.
