Lab# 03:

Graded lab tasks:


Creating Users and Groups

 Create 3 user accounts (user1, user2, user3) and add 2groups (gr1, gr2).
add user1 to gr1 and add user2 to gr2.
 Check user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) by listing file /etc/passwd. Find lines
with added user. What is the UID and GID for these accounts?
Permissions

 Create 3 files with touch command: file1, file2, file3.


 Write the command line by using letters with chmod to set the following
permissions: rwxrwxr-x for file1 r-x—x—x for file2 ——xrwx for file3
 Write the command line by using numbers with chmod to set the following
permissions: -w for file4 (you have to prepare this file) rwx--x—x for folder1
(you have to prepare this folder)

Switching User

 Create two user accounts: test1 and test2


 Logging in id: test1 (group users, with bash shell, home directory
/home/test1 )
 Logging in id: test2 (group public, with bash shell, home directory
home/test2 )
 For the two accounts set a password.
 Logging in as test1 and copy /bin/ls into test1 home directory as “myls” file.
 Change the owner of myls totest1 and the permissions to 0710. What does
this permission value mean? Logging in as test2 and try to use
/home/test1/myls to list your current directory. Does it work?
 Create a new group lab3 with test1 and test2. Change the owner group of
myls file to lab3. Try again from test2 account to execute /home/test1/myls
to list your current directory. Does it work?
