Explanation / Answer

1. Open a terminal.


Gain access to terminal from the redhat screen

[student@bsit_rh62 ~]$


2. Create a new group called mygroup. Hint: /usr/sbin/groupadd.


Had many errors, but a lot of group id errors

[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ sudo groupadd -g 001 mygroup
[sudo] password for student:
groupadd: GID '1' already exists
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ sudo groupadd -g 002 mygroup
groupadd: GID '2' already exists
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ sudo groupadd -g 2012 mygroup


3. Create a new folder and name it your first name.

I forgot to put sudo the first time, and then when I copied I reverted to my Windows knowledge

[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ mkdir name
mkdir: cannot create directory `name': Permission denied
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ sudo mkdir name
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ ^C
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$




4. Get a directory listing of the home folder using the long listing format.

Home directory and little information

[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ ls /home
student student2 tmp
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$


5. Modify the permissions on your new folder to set read, write, and execute permissions for the user and group.

Had some issues and then realized that I just needed to do the sudo again for this one

[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ chmod a+rwx /home
chmod: changing permissions of `/home': Operation not permitted
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ sudo chmod a+rwx /home
[sudo] password for student:
[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$


6. Get a directory listing of the new folder using the long listing and human readable format. (ls –lh)

This shows out all data including sizes and other data

[student@bsit_rh62 sbin]$ ls -lh /home...
