Why copy fstab to /var/tmp in the first place?

Is it really safe to give user1 full access?

Wait, user2 gets no access? Seems harsh.

That's how you set ACLs!

I definitely remember that user1 should have full permissions, but I’m not clear on how to deny user2 access properly.

I feel like we might need to change the group ownership first before setting the ACLs, but I could be wrong.

I practiced something similar last week, but I can't recall if we used `setfacl` for specific users.

I think I remember that we need to use `cp` to copy the file, but I'm not sure about the permissions part.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording here. I need to make sure I understand what "transmit packets using the same priority for data" means exactly.

This is a good question to test our understanding of OSPF internals. I'll use the process of elimination to narrow down the correct answer.

The FEV1 is 3.1 L and FVC is 3.5 L. So 3.1/3.5 = about 0.89 or 89%. That looks like an obstructive pattern.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure which two options would be the best approach. I'd want to think through the pros and cons of each one and how they might impact the release process and recovery time. Maybe I'll jot down some notes before selecting my answers.

Wait, we're supposed to copy the fstab file? Isn't that the file that controls how my computer's hard drives are mounted? I don't know about you, but I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole! Let's hope the rest of the exam is a little less risky.

This is a textbook example of what we've been learning in class. I bet the exam writer is trying to lull us into a false sense of security with this easy question. Time to stay sharp and keep an eye out for any hidden tricks!

Hmm, this is a pretty basic Linux file management task. I'm sure I could do this in my sleep. Maybe they'll throw in a curveball on the next question to keep us on our toes!

The answer looks good to me. I like how it uses the setfacl command to manage the permissions instead of just relying on the traditional chmod approach.
