Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 40

Which of the following permissions are set on the /tmp/ directory?

Answer options

• A. rwxrwxrwt
• B. ------rwX
• C. rwSrw-rw-
• D. rwxrwS---
• E. r-xr-X--t

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option, A (rwxrwxrwt), indicates that the /tmp/ directory has read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, group, and others, along with the sticky bit. The other options do not represent the standard permissions for /tmp/ as they either lack the sticky bit or do not have the correct combination of permissions.
