[01:11:10] <e^ipi> a job interview test is designed to test your knowledge [01:11:16] <e^ipi> not the knowledge of people on IRC [01:12:30] *** not-me-guv has joined #opensolaris [01:13:08] *** tomocha6 has quit IRC [01:15:39] <edgy> e^ipi: yes but I am not in interview or exam now to consider this cheating, I am studying so I can prepare for the interview in the future [01:16:52] <e^ipi> then i suggest you read the chmod manual page [01:17:01] <edgy> e^ipi: and you know sometimes those questions are wrong, I dare say, or at least confusing. they are not testing the knowledge of the topic but rather the knowledge of about the mood of the examiner ;) [01:17:03] <e^ipi> ( and potentially try it ) [01:17:04] *** FrostCS has joined #opensolaris [01:17:38] <ehtom> its a pretty pointless question imo [01:17:43] <ehtom> D is the correct answer [01:17:47] <ehtom> but its still dumb [01:17:49] <edgy> e^ipi: I think I know chmod and suid very well.

[01:18:45] <alanc> because delete permissions depend on the permissions on the directory it is in [01:19:42] <ehtom> owner of a directory can change the permissions... [01:20:07] <ehtom> I think maybe the question is intended to provoke discussion?

I ahe grub booting between windows and 3 versions of Linux and there is no keeping in sync of anything. [18:32:20] <Aria> Windows doesn't add Grub entries. You take advantage of the symlinks for Debian, so their entry is static. [18:32:36] <Aria> But if you don't do that in Debian, and let it update the menu, it adds a new entry for each new kernel.

[18:49:29] <_mary_kate_> you want to create a single slice, s0, which fills the entire disk [18:49:39] <Fullmoon> And this is not "partitioning"? [18:49:41] <Aria> So you picked out a nice shiny SMI-shaped label, and wrote exactly nothing on it and stuck it on the drive. [18:49:47] <_mary_kate_> partitions are x86 fdisk partitions [18:49:53] <_mary_kate_> it's confusing to use that term to refer to solaris slices [18:49:54] <Aria> Partitions are outside, Solaris X86 made some concessions to BIOSes that are FUGLY [18:50:31] <Aria> So you usually make an fdisk partition (whole disk), label the partition (as if it were the whole disk) and then make slices within that.
