   Only shows A.

   There are no answers given, “show answer” doesn’t work either

   An actual output from my CentOS

   $ ls -l /etc/passwd
   -rw-r–r–. 1 root root 2178 Jun 6 15:28 /etc/passwd

   $ ls -l /etc/shadow
   ———-. 1 root root 1650 Jun 6 15:35 /etc/shadow

   However for the exam the correct answer is:
   -rw-r–r– for the /etc/passwd
   -rw——- for the /etc/shadow
