Issue 4.2: Configure a Collaborative Directory

VM

VM 1: Jump Host / Main Practice Server

Scenario

A development team needs a shared directory where files created by any team member are automatically owned by the development group. You need to set up this collaborative directory with appropriate permissions.

Objectives

1. Create a group named 'development'
2. Create a directory /shared/dev_projects
3. Set the directory's group ownership to 'development'
4. Apply set-GID (SGID) permission to the directory so new files inherit the group
5. Set permissions so group members can read, write, and execute in the directory
6. Verify that new files created in the directory inherit the correct group ownership
7. Create a test file as a regular user to verify the setup

Requirements

• Use proper group management commands
• Apply SGID correctly
• Set appropriate permissions (2775)
• Verify the configuration works
