Comment (by pulkomandy):

 It would still make sense to have proper permissions on the symlinks. I'd
 even use 0555, so that no one can edit them (even if you can't access the
 target, the permissions on the symlink allow you to delete or rename it,
 for example). Or at least that is what would make sense with symlink
 permissions?
