That test was dodgy. I got the who question wrong because I went with whoami. The file extension '.src' question was questionable (what distro is this? Surely .tar.gz would be the correct answer) as were some of the other questions interesting. I ended up with 70%
I mean the chgrp question and the shell script question was definitely wrong. If a script needs root permission to run then chmodding it to 777 means it will definitely fail because it won't have write access to /etc/, or root's environmental variables or security policies. This is _why_ chmod 777 won't work over u+x, setting 777 is _F*****_ dangerous. A user could put dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 in the script and wait for the root user to run it, or worse. Only an amateur would do that. setting a file as 777 would still run under your own permissions. Then the chgrp question which is either bad language or just wrong. It seems I wasn't the only person to get it wrong. http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=Test-on-Linux-Basics-1§ion=stats#storytabs Then the cat question was also interesting. If you were to type "man cat" you be right to go for wrong answer. I'd advise people to go through the answers and if "most" people got it wrong, then they are probably right!
