Ln -s Makes Permissions Of 755

[shanenin]

When I use the command ls -s with all of my linux systems I get permissions of 777 for the link. In my bsd system(using bash) when I make a sybolic link I get permissions of 755, is this normal? I have installed bash, but do not have a .bashrc, .bash_profile, or /etc/profile file to set parameters. Does that seem like the problem?

That's normal.

That may be normal but I don't know. It doesn't really matter either way; the permissions of the target file are checked as well.

Nope. If you want them, create them.
