Question 1: What was the objective of the exercise?
The objective of the exercise was to define special permission for files in a user directory. Special permissions such as removing files from a particular directory can be assigned to specific users of the directory in Linux systems. Most of the time such special permissions are granted to the user of the directory who is the owner of the directory as well. In the lab exercise, special permissions were granted to the user Linda, the owner of the directory as well, by setting the group identity bit and the sticky bit. The exercise contains the practice of creating files and removing them without special permissions. The second part contains the practice of creating the files and removing the files using special permissions of the directory owner such as Linda in this exercise.
Question 2: What was the outcome of the exercise?
As an outcome to the exercise, the files created by the touch command were first deleted by the user of the directory without granting special permissions. During the second task, special permissions were granted to the user Linda, the owner of the directory, by setting the group ID and sticky bit. The files then created and removed by the same user because of special permissions granted to the same user. Otherwise, the user would not be able to remove the files from the directory as the sticky bit restricts the use of such actions.
Question 3: Explain your experience with exercise?
It was useful and interesting to grant special permission to certain users. So, that they can carry out special file operations in Linux systems. The exercise was completed without any fatal errors, and the outcome was observed by performing the instructed operations using the commands.
