Exam EX200 topic 1 question 30 discussion

you answer is correct i.e. however you missed on -R as by using -R you are ensuring that permissions are applied recursively - down the driectory. However no NEED to use setfacl at all in this case as this command will suffice chmod g+rwxs or if you like chmod g=rwxs will suffice. You only need to use setfacl if there is speciall requirement i.e. granting access to another user or group that are not members of the group adminuser => lets say you want to allow user max read only in this case setfacl -m u:max:r--

chmod -R g+s /home/admins/ > what about this option ?

This directory can be read and written, so setfacl -m g:adminuser:rw- /home/admins

Incorrect as you had missed on the x permission on the directory - users will get access denied with out the x regardless if they have rw or NOT => so should be chmod g+rwxs

they're the same

question only talks about read, write and there is no mention of execute. Why were we giving execute permission ?
