→INVESTIGATION 2: FILE PERMISSIONS
# Use the <span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -l</span> command to view the permissions for this newly created regular file.<br><br>What do you notice about those permissions?<br><br>
# Logout of your Matrix account, and then log-back into your Matrix account.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command (without arguments): <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">umask</span><br><br>What happened? Referring to your notes, what do you need to do to make that umask value persistent?<br><br><span style="color:red;">'''WARNING''':<br>You should be <u>extremely</u> aware of your permissions since you may perform assignments for <u>other</u> courses on your Matrix server. You should NOT set permissions to share your work with other '''same group''' or '''other group''' members. If students can have access to your directories and assignment files, they could copy your work and thus make yourself (with other student copying your assignment) to be accused of academic dishonesty.</span>
# After you complete the Review Questions sections to get additional practice, then work on your '''online assignment 2'''<br>and complete the sections '''1''' and '''2''' labelled: '''Practice Using The vi Text Editor''' and '''Permissions''' respectively.<br><br>
