Modifying the permissions of a directory will directly change the permissions of the files within it.
True
False
The premise of this question is a common misconception that can trip up new IT students. When permissions are set on a directory, they do not inherently propagate to the files within that directory. Each file has its own set of permissions that need to be individually managed unless inheritance is explicitly defined or a bulk change is performed. This is why the correct answer is that modifying permissions of a directory does not directly change the permissions of the files contained within it.
