c. The touch command is very simple and useful. It allows for the quick creation of an empty text file. Use the command below to create an empty file in the /mnt directory:

[analyst@secOps scripts]$ touch /mnt/myNewFile.txt

touch: cannot touch '/mnt/myNewFile.txt': Permission denied

[analyst@secOps ~]$ ls -l /mnt

total 4

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 3 11:13 second_drive

[analyst@secOps ~]$ ls -ld /mnt

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 3 15:43 /mnt

d. The chmod command is used to change the permissions of a file or directory. As before, mount the /dev/sdb1 partition on the /home/analyst/second_drive directory created earlier in this lab:

[analyst@secOps scripts]$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ~/second_drive/

e. Change to the second_drive directory and list the contents of it:

[analyst@secOps scripts]$ cd ~/second_drive

[analyst@secOps second_drive]$ ls -l

total 20

drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 3 10:59 lost+found

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183 Mar 3 15:42 myFile.txt

f. Use the chmod command to change the permissions of myFile.txt.

[analyst@secOps second_drive]$ sudo chmod 665 myFile.txt

[analyst@secOps second_drive]$ ls -l

total 20

drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 3 10:59 lost+found

-rw-rw-r-x 1 root root 183 Mar 3 15:42 myFile.txt

The chmod command takes permissions in the octal format. In that way, a breakdown of the 665 is as follows:
6 in octal is 110 in binary. Assuming each position of the permissions of a file can be 1 or 0, 110 means rw- (read=1, write=1 and execute=0).
Therefore, the chmod 665 myFile.txt command changes the permissions to:
Owner: rw- (6 or 110 in octal)
Group: rw- (6 or 110 in octal)
Other: r-x (5 or 101 in octal)

sudo chmod 777 myFile.txt
