"lax permissions" check is misleading if directory is a symlink

[keysmashes]

I get a warning at the start of every session:

* Warning: Keychain dir has lax permissions. Use chmod -R go-rwx '/home/ash/.cache/keychain' to fix.

but the directory it's complaining about is a symlink:

$ ll -d .cache/keychain
lrwxrwxrwx - ash users 18 Nov 21:36 .cache/keychain -> /run/user/1000/keychain/1000/

and permissions on symlinks are ignored/can't be changed.

Probably keychain should run $keydir through realpath before checking its permissions, or just not warn if the directory is a symlink (under the assumption that a user with such a setup knows what they're doing).

keychain/keychain.sh

Line 182 in 2b3c181

[ "$(ls -ld "${keydir}" | cut -c5-10)" != "------" ] && warn "Keychain dir has lax permissions. Use ${CYAN}chmod -R go-rwx '${keydir}'${OFF} to fix."

aha, a workaround is to append a slash to the symlink when passing it to Keychain: instead of --dir /path/goes/here, do --dir /path/goes/here/.

This could probably be improved a bit. Thanks for the bug report.
