Question: You're a Linux help disk technician and just got a phone call from Chris Baxter, a new employee, who is having trouble running shell scripts.

You're a Linux help disk technician and just got a phone call from Chris Baxter, a new employee, who is having trouble running shell scripts. He tells you he has replaced the previous employee Aaron Cole, but he can't run any of Aaron's scripts. You check Chris's user account and discover he's a memeber of the division group. After using the ls -l command in the scripts directory, you see the following information:

ls -l

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2009 - 02 -10 04:59 bank

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2010 - 01 -04 04:59 database

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2010 - 09 - 17 04:59 project

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2011 - 07 - 23 04:59 school

Why can't Chris run the scripts listed in this output? What command should you use to give Chris the permission needed to run them?

Assuming you must address Chris Baxters help desk ticket by emailing him. Assume his user name is cbaxter.

Your email must explain to Chris why he cannot run the scripts. It must cover two ways you can, as root (su) fix his problem. (One you know, chmod(1), the other, chown(1) you need to run the man command or Internet search on.) You must give Chris at least one pro and one con for each method.
