Student ID

You can put any integer number here to generate different exercises for practice. However you must submit the activity associated with your ID number to D2L in order to receive credit for the activity.

Adding User Accounts

  1. Take a screenshot of these instructions (including your student number) and the file/folder structure below. If you cannot get everything into the screenshot it is okay, just take your ID number and whatever fits on the screen.
  2. Create user accounts for the following people with the listed passwords. The username must be the first letter of the firstname followed by the last name. The username must be all lower case letters. If there is a conflict such as 'John Smith' and 'Jim Smith' the names would be jsmith and jsmith2.
    NamePassword
  3. Verify that you can log into each account with the password you set. If you have problems, use the 'passwd' command as the super user to fix the password. Create one file called 'success.txt' in each account. In the file just write the phrase "Yes it worked".
  4. Change to the /home folder and run the tree command on each of the user accounts. For example 'tree jsmith hwally' but include the modification timestamp and the owner of the file (check the manual page if you are not sure which flags). Take a screenshot of this.

Submission of Work

The daily exercises in this course are based on proving that you have successfully completed the tasks. This is done by determining which command(s) are necessary and collecting a screenshot of the completed work.

For each day, you will submit a PDF file to D2L by 11:30pm. The format MUST BE PDF! Submitting work in any other format will result in a zero. The dropbox closes promptly at 11:30pm and no late submissions by email will be accepted. No special arrangements will be made for any reason. A small number of daily activities will excused at the end of the semester to handle various problems that might arise.

Questions/parts must be clearly labelled. Work submitted without labels will not receive full marks.
