Exam XK0-005 topic 1 question 115 discussion

Wouldn't C also keep the permissions the same for the IT group while still giving the same permissions to the Finance group as D?

Debian12 / -bash: setfacl: command not found

The correct answer is D. setfacl -m g:finance:rw file.

D. setfacl -m g:finance:rw file: This command sets a new ACL (access control list) on the file that grants read and write access to the finance group. This option would allow the finance department to access the file while also maintaining the existing permissions for IT employees. The + in the rw option means to add read and write permissions to the existing permissions. The g: specifies that the permission is being set for a group, and the finance is the name of the group.

The correct command to fix the access issue while limiting access to IT and finance department employees would be: D. setfacl -m g:finance:rw file This command sets a Access Control List (ACL) for the file with the permission "rw" (read and write) for the group "finance". This would allow the finance department employees to access the file with the necessary permissions, while the IT employees still retain their read and write permissions.

if we change the owner to finance, the IT group would then be considered "other" in permissions and have no rights. currently IT has rights,, so using setfacl to give finance RW rights would keep the IT groups, and give finance rights. D

chown [owner]:[group] file This would allow rw for both IT and Finance.
