You are in your home directory reviewing the permissions for a file called "wfile". The current permissions are:

Code:

-rw-r--r--

You execute the command:

Code:

chmod a+x wfile

What do the permissions look like now? Choose only one answer from the options below.

1. -rwxr--r--
2. -rwxr-xr--
3. -rwxr-xr-x
4. -rw-r-xr-x
5. -rw-r--r-x
6. None of the above. The "a+x" option is invalid.

PS...also tested in Debian.

So no one wanted to tackle this one, eh? Ok, here's the answer anyway. The correct answer is 3. Permissions will be -rwxr-xr-x. The chmod a+x filename command adds the executable permission to all ("a" as in "all") categories (user, group, others).
