The STICKY BITs of Linux

The sticky bit is a permission on a Linux folder that solves a very unique problem: protecting your files in a shared folder. Once you understand what it does, and how to set/unset it, it's the sort of thing you'll rarely think about. Symbolic links, on the other hand, are something you'll use constantly. We cover those in this video too, from how to create them, what they do, and the danger of relying on them too heavily. (Spoiler: If you delete the original file, your symbolic link is worthless, your data is still gone) This video based on: LPI Linux Essentials Objective 5.4 - Special Directories and Files https://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/exam-010-objectives #LPI #LinuxEssentials #Exam_010_160 #Linux Find me online: https://twitter.com/shawnp0wers https://brainofshawn.com Check out my comic! https://twitter.com/MyBigRoundWorld
