The access control list (ACL) for a file on a server is as follows:
User: rwx
User: Ann: r- –
User: Joe: r- –
Group: rwx
Group: sales: r-x
Other: r-x
Joe and Ann are members of the Human Resources group. Will Ann and Joe be able to run the
file?
A.
No since Ann and Joe are members of the Sales group owner of the file
B.
Yes since the regular permissions override the ACL for the file
C.
No since the ACL overrides the regular permissions for the file
D.
Yes since the regular permissions and the ACL combine to create the effective permissions on
the file
I have to go with D on this one. Neither Ann nor Joe have execute permissions to the file. However, they appear to be members of the others group which does. They should be able to run the file.

I stand corrected. I went to someone who understood Linux and this is what he told me
In Unix, ACLS are a layer on top of the file system permissions. Not all
UNIXs support ACLS, and are optional on the flavors that do support it. ACL
support is included in SELinux. SELinux and its features can be
enabled/disabled on RedHat and other flavors.
Therefore, I am switching my answer to C even though I am not really sure what is the ACL and what is the permissions.
