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.

Sticky Bits

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. Note: This activity uses the same users accounts and files as the previous "Advanced Sharing" activity. If you have already completed the previous activity, you can skip down to step #6.
3. Create the following user accounts on your VM: 'X', 'Y', and 'Z'. The full name and other details are not important, use any password that you will remember.
4. Create a folder named 'X' in the folder /usr/local/src. Inside this new folder create 3 files named: x, x, and x. Type a few lines of random text into these files.
5. Change the owner of the folder and files from above to belong to user 'X'.
6. Configure permissions so that the following requirements are satisfied:
   • User 'Y' can create new files in the folder.
   • User 'Y' can view and modify all the files in the folder.
   • User 'Z' cannot do a directory listing, view or modify any files in the folder.
   • When files new files are created by 'X' or 'Y', the files should end up automatically in the same group.
7. When you have completed the configuration from the previous step submit screenshots of the following:
   1. Run tree showing the permissions, owners and groups of the files.
   2. Show that the users 'X' and 'Y' can view the contents of the files.
   3. Show that user 'Z' cannot see anything, even if they know the name of the file.
   4. Show that newly created files belong to the correct group automatically. To do this, log in as user 'X' and create a file using the touch command followed immediately by "ls -l" to show the details of the file. Submit the screenshot showing both of these commands (one picture).
