I disagree, I thought chgrp was the way to go here.

Wait, can you really use chmod like that? Sounds odd.

Arleen 12 months ago

Definitely A, but E is also a good choice.

I think B is a typo, that command doesn't exist.

Bette 1 year ago

A and E are correct!

I don't think 'chown --persistent' is a valid command; it sounds off to me, but I can't remember the exact details.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like 'chmod g+s' might be the right answer too, but I can't recall if there's a specific syntax I should remember.

I remember something about using chmod to set the group ID on a directory, but I'm not sure if it's just 'g+s' or if there's more to it.

I think option E is correct because it sets the setgid bit, which should ensure new files inherit the group ownership.

I'm a little confused by this question. Is it asking about the recommended approach for starting a 5S program, or something else? I'll have to re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know security is important, but I'm not sure if it's the tester's full responsibility or if they need to work with security experts. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I remember practicing something similar, and time to value seems important in gaining executive buy-in.

I'm a bit confused by the terminology in this question. I'll need to review my notes on VPLS and LDP to make sure I'm on the right track.
