The configuration of a Samba share contains the following line:
force directory mode = 0555
If a client creates a new directory with the permissions 0750, which permissions will the resulting directory have in the Samba server's file system?
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
force directory mode = 0555: This setting in Samba forces the permissions of any newly created directories to be 0555 regardless of what the client requests. Client Request: If a client creates a directory with permissions 0750, Samba will override this and set the directory's permissions to 0555.
Permissions Breakdown:
0: No permissions for owner.
5: Read and execute permissions for the group.
5: Read and execute permissions for others.
Enforcement: Samba applies this mode strictly to ensure consistency and security as defined by the administrator.
