chown -cf doesn't even relate to file permissions!

chmod 775 just gives too much access to others.

Wait, can you really restrict access like that?

Definitely agree, umask sets default permissions!

I don't recall chown being relevant for this scenario; it seems more about ownership than permissions.

I practiced a similar question where umask was involved, and I think umask 002 is what allows group members to modify files.

I think chmod 775 would set the right permissions, but it might not apply to new files by default.

I remember something about umask settings affecting file permissions, but I'm not entirely sure if umask 002 is the right command here.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Is it really that simple? I feel like there might be another way to add an element to the end of an array that I'm forgetting. Let me double-check my notes to make sure I'm not missing something.

I remember something about load balancing and next-hop addresses, but I'm unsure how to apply it here.
