Typos and Error in Lab 32.3

CarloMartini

There's a typo in this questions (User instead of Use):



4. User setfacl to make the file readable by the new user and try again.

5. User setfacl to make the file not readable by the new user and try again.

Most importantly, the solutions given are the same for both:

$ setfacl -m u:fool:rx /tmp/afile

$ setfacl -m u:fool:rx /tmp/afile

I suppose it should be something like:

$ setfacl -x u:fool /tmp/afile

Hi Carlo,

Yes, that's right, it's a typo. I'm going to inform of it, thanks for reporting it!

Isn't the mistake rather that we're supposed to give the user permission to write instead of read and execute? Using w or 2 instead of rx works fine for me:

exit
[[email protected] ~]$ setfacl -m u:jill:5 /tmp/afile
[[email protected] ~]$ su jill
Password: 
[[email protected] marc]$ echo 'newline' >> /tmp/afile
bash: /tmp/afile: Permission denied
[[email protected] marc]$ exit
exit
[[email protected] ~]$ setfacl -m u:jill:2 /tmp/afile
[[email protected] ~]$ su jill
Password: 
[[email protected] marc]$ echo 'newline' >> /tmp/afile
[[email protected] marc]$
