I should probably ask a question...
Am I right that there is an error in the solution (instead of readable - writable)?0 -
Having a "write only" file or directory is a valid thing. Consider a ftp site you send files to, if you have a write only to the directory you can upload files but cannot see the file by doing a directory list.
Possibly a log file you could give a user write access to add new logevents but not be able to see the contents of the log file.
Yes, a write only file is an option we can use.
Does this help?

Thank you @lee42x for the answer! Yes, that was the question. I'm just wondering about the solution in the lab and do I think in the right direction.

Now I get it!
I didn't realise that for 4-th question the solution is u:fool:rw, while the question is how to make the file writeable (not readable,writeable). And for 5-th question it is already writable.
Actually I didn't ask correctly in my first question.
But you're right @lee42xYes, a write only file is an option we can use.
