  2. Create two user accounts on your system for the username 'X' and 'Y'. The full name and other details are not important, use any password that you will remember.
  3. Log into your VM as the user 'X' and create the following files/folders so that the tree command produces the following. Create the files using nano and just put a couple lines of text in each one. The permissions

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.
