Full solution: mkdir -p /common/admin groupadd admin chown :admin -R /common chmod 775 -R /common chmod g+s -R /common touch testfile (to verify the latter requirement)

you forget that 'Other groups and users don't have permission". instead of chmod 775 /common, the correct command is chmod 770 /common.

-R is not required. SGID will apply future group owner

when you already used rwX when why do you need g+s in the next command? Didn't rwX already set the sticky bit for group above?

i think capital X was and error which would make sense why g+s was used
