This command is used to add read and write permissions for the user on demo1.txt.
12.
This command is used to install the ACL package for fine-grained permission control.
13.
First command is used to give read permission to a specific user on demo1.txt.
Second command is used to display the ACL entries for file.txt.
Learning outcomes (What I have learnt):
1. I learned how to create and manage users and groups in Linux using commands like useradd, userdel,
and groupadd.
