Linux+ Advanced Permissions - Defaults

---

Hi

In the LInux+ Advanced Permissions video the setting of the 'defaults' is called setting the 'directory' permissions. This was a little confusing as the Lab talks about setting the Defaults.

setfacl -m d:g:Marketing: rw test_files/ This is setting the defaul and its Inheritance Correct? Before that command you do not see the "defaults" listed with a getfacl

Thanks

Yeah - it can get troublesome with the different terminology often used interchangeably.
