FILE PERMISSIONS AND EVENT VIEWER1
Part A: File Permissions
1. What files and directories in your Linux home directory can you (the owner)
read and write but your group and everyone else can read-only. How many such
files are there? What Linux command or pipe could you use?
Linux Ubuntu operating system is set up in Oracle VM VirtualBox

The command ‘find –perm –u=w,g=r’ shows all the files in the home directory that have
write (w) permissions by the owner of the group but only read (r) permissions for the rest of
the users of the group.

2. Find all files and directories on Linux that an owner can read and write, the
group can read-only, and everyone else is denied access. How many such files are
there? What Linux command or pipe could you use?
The same command command ‘find –perm –u=w,g=r’ if applied after cd / shows all the files
in the root directory that have write (w) permissions by the owner of the group but only read
(r) permissions for the rest of the users of the group.
