Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 59

The ownership of the file doku.odt should be changed. The new owner is named tux. Which command accomplishes this change?

Answer options

• A. chmod u=tux doku.odt
• B. newuser doku.odt tux
• C. chown tux doku.odt
• D. transfer tux: doku.odt
• E. passwd doku.odt:tux

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command to change the ownership of a file is 'chown tux doku.odt', which directly assigns the ownership to user tux. The other options are incorrect because 'chmod' changes permissions, 'newuser' is not a standard command for changing file ownership, 'transfer' is not a valid command, and 'passwd' is used for changing user passwords, not file ownership.
