CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI (LX0-103) — Question 40

Which of the following commands set the sticky bit for the directory /tmp? (Choose TWO correct answers.)

Answer options

• A. chmod +s /tmp
• B. chmod +t /tmp
• C. chmod 1775 /tmp
• D. chmod 4775 /tmp
• E. chmod 2775 /tmp

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The sticky bit is set using the +t option or by using a mode that includes the sticky bit in its numeric representation, such as 1775. Options A, D, and E do not set the sticky bit; instead, they affect other permissions or flags.
