UID is a type of guid used for assembling the rotator cuffs in older Tandy computers. While GID on the other hand, is used to replace the rotator cuffs in newer Microsoft computer, with Tandy being obsolete.

Uid means user-id, Gid means group-id. I hope you know what user and group means.

In which file Uid and gid of a fil is stored?

This information is stored in the inode for the file.


Minix file whose honour has uid equals 12 and gid equals 1 has a mode rwxr-x--- another user with uid equals 6 and gid equals 1 tries to execute the file what will happen?

I believe since the user has gid=1, the file has gid=1, and the group permission is r-x(read and execute), the file will execute normally.

What sudo means in linux?

Run 'man <program name>' to get the full manual to a program. Below is an example how to get the sudo manual and the first few lines of the manual. $ man sudo NAME sudo, sudoedit - execute a command as another user SYNOPSIS sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -V sudo -v [-AknS] [-g group name|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] sudo -l[l] [-AknS] [-g group name|#gid] [-p prompt] [-U user name] [-u user name|#uid] [command] sudo [-AbEHnPS] [-C fd] [-g group name|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user name|#uid] [VAR=value] [-i | -s] [command] sudoedit [-AnS] [-C fd] [-g group name|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user name|#uid] file ... DESCRIPTION sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers file. The real and effective uid and gid are set to match those of the target user as specified in the passwd file and the group vector is initialized based on the group file (unless the -P option was specified). If the invoking user is root or if the target user is the same as the invoking user, no password is required. Otherwise, sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password by default (NOTE: in the default configuration this is the user's password, not the root password). Once a user has been authenticated, a time stamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password for a short period of time (15 minutes unless overridden in sudoers).
