My output from stat looks very different from yours. Here's what I'm

His output looks like Linux output. You can get something simillar in OSX using the -x switch, i.e. "stat -x ls" and "stat -xL ls". Note you still only see "ls" and never "/bin/ls" in OSX but you are told different inode numbers and the file type is "Regular File" and "Symbolic Link" in the other.
It was done in OS X. I just get annoyed having bsd utilities mixed in with the gnu utilities which generally have more functionality.
$ ln -s /bin/ls .
$ stat ls

You're not doing anything wrong. As you can see, you are the owner of the symlink whereas root is the owner of the actual binary.
