Default Settings
Here are some facts you need to be aware of regarding default settings.
- Each file has an owner and a group assigned to it
- The owner is usually the person that created the file
- A file has a default set of permission settings assigned to it when it
is created, and these default settings usually grant the owner read and write
permissions
- Each user is assigned to a default group, and that group is assigned
to every file that user creates
All default ownership, group, and permission settings can be changed. We'll
explore how to change setting a little later in the tutorial.
