  12. type "Control-x" to exit and save your file
  13. When the pico editor shows "File name to write: Section1" hit Enter
  14. type "cd ../"
  15. type "pico roster"
    in pico, type the following: 
    itc teacher
test    test
pete    breaker
  16. after typing each login (e.g. itc, test, pete) press TAB, then type the password (teacher, test, breaker).
  17. the itc login is named in the descriptor file as the teacher, so it must be included here so that the teacher can login to see quiz results, etc.
  18. type "Control-x" to exit and save your file
    Note: "Control-x" could be "Control-o" to save, but not exit.
  19. type "cd ../" to go back to ~ directory
  20. type "dir" or "dir|more" (if I type dir|more I scroll through the contents with the space bar until I see the myclass info.

    I see: 
    drwxr-xr-x   3 itc      staff       8192 Oct 18 09:30 myclass
    and myclass permissions must be: 
    -rwxrwxr-x   1 jalucas  system       884 Oct 10 10:55 roster
  21. so, I type "chmod 775 roster" and now I see: 
    drwxrwxr-x   3 itc      staff       8192 Oct 18 09:30 myclass
    type "cd myclass"
  22. type "dir"

    and I see: 
    drwxr-xr-x   2 itc      staff       8192 Oct 18 09:24 wwwassign
-rw-r--r--   1 itc      staff         39 Oct 18 09:30 roster
    wwwassign will have to be drxrwxrwx and roster will have to be -rwxrwxr-x, so

  23. type "chmod 777 wwwassign"
  24. type "chmod 775 roster"

    and I see: 
    drwxrwxrwx   2 itc      staff       8192 Oct 18 09:24 wwwassign
-rwxrwxr-x   1 itc      staff         39 Oct 18 09:30 roster
  25. type "cd wwwassign"

    I see 
    -rw-r--r--   1 itc      staff        441 Oct 18 09:24 Section1
-rw-r--r--   1 itc      staff        262 Oct 18 09:12 wwwassign
    wwwassign (descriptor file) is OK, but Section1 must be -rwxrwxr-x, so

  26. type "chmod 775 Section1"
  27. type "cd ../../http/web101/quizzes"
  28. type "pico index.html"
