Exam EX200 topic 1 question 3 discussion

If the group should only have read and write shouldn't the command be: chmod 760 /admins

#mkdir /home/admins #groupadd admin #chown root:admin /admins #chmod 770 /admins #chmod g+s

# Create the directory mkdir /home/admins # Change the owner of the directory to root sudo chown root: /home/admins # Change the group of the directory to admin sudo chgrp admin /home/admins # Set the permissions so that the owner and the group can read and write, # but others cannot access it sudo chmod 770 /home/admins # Set the group ID on the directory so that files created within it # inherit the group of the directory (admin) rather than the group of the user that created the file sudo chmod g+s /home/admins

#mkdir -p /home/admins #chgrp admin /home/admins #chmod 770 /home/admins - 7 is for max permission for dir and 6 is for files #chmod g+s /home/admins #su - harry #touch /home/admins/testfile #ls-ltr /home/admins/ - to verify

mkdir -p /home/admins chown -R :admin /home/admins chmod 2070 /home/admins touch /home/admins/office.txt ll /home/admins Please Give me your views on this...

Without granting x permissions, group users will not be able to access the folder so it should be chmod 770 /home/admins

mkdir admins groupadd admin chown :admin /home/admins chmod g+rw /home/admins chmod o-rwx /home/admins chmod g+s /homeadmins

which is correct permission /home/admin 760 or 770 ?

The right answer is chmod 770 because you need to have execution permission on the directory to have access to its content, so you can perform write and read process.

For all of the above to work, the user must have the admin group as an additional group. Do the test.

mkdir /home/admins chown :admin /home/admins chmod u=rw,o=--- /home/admins chmod g+s /home/admins

2=Write 4 = read therefore r+w=6, Moran has the correct answer for setting chmod
