Web hosting - Creating files and directories As a Red Hat

Create a new directory called test in your home directory, as follows: $ mkdir test 4. Check the permissions of the directory by typing: $ ls -ld test drwxr-xr-x 2 chris sales 1024 Jan 24 12:17 test Notice that this listing says that test is a directory (d), the owner is chris, the group is sales, and the file was most recently modified on Jan 24 at 12:17 p.m. Suppose that you want to prevent everyone else who uses this computer from using or viewing the files in this directory. The permissions for the directory are rwxr-xr-x. I explain what these permissions mean later in this section. 5. For now, type the following:
