Description of problem:
When placing symlinks into /etc/skel copy_tree of libmisc/copydir.c will
properly create the symlink in the destination directory but not change the
ownership to the target user/group. This makes httpd Option SymlinkIfOwnerMatch
break for default weg pages including symlinks placed into /etc/skel/public_html
for example.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Steps to Reproduce:
[root@zaphod root]# touch /etc/skel/boo

I'll see whether I can attach the patch I've done that seems to do the magic for me.
