Question

User max owns a directory games, containing a text file called ourgames.txt that he shares with users belonging to the group gameplayers. Those users may read and execute this file, but not delete it. They may not add other files to the directory. Others may neither read, write, nor execute anything in games. What would be the appropriate ownerships and permissions for both directory games and the file ourgames.txt look like

Answer 1

Answer:

The directory games folder: drwxr-x---

ourgames.txt files : -rwxr-x---

Explanation:

The directory games and the ourgames.txt file are owned by max who has read, write and execute permissions for both, where the 'd' in the first column represents the directory. The gameplayers group has read and execute permissions represented by the 'r' and 'x' letters. The other group is the third section with just dashes which means no permission is granted for the file.
