+Without the time interval entering the codes would be really difficult. Imagine having only one second to enter the code + the request having to travel to some server for it to verify (can take up to 200ms around the world) + the server having to process the request and verify the code.
+
+There could be measures to make sure the code is still valid even when entering a little old code, but then you're really just introducing an interval. So why not do it from the start?
+
+That's why you need a 30s interval. For user experience, to make sure the system can actually work even when grandma has to type it in and reopen the authenticator 10x because she forgot the code or typed something wrong.

+UNIX permissions only support one Owner, one Group, and Other (UGO). 
+The 'Group' slot is already taken by the specific lecture group to give students write access.
+If we use 'Other' to give the supervisor read access, every user on the system could read it, which would violate the requirements.
+If we add the supervisor to the lecture group, they get write access, which also violates the requirements.

+Because a file cannot have multiple groups or user-specific overrides under standard UNIX permissions, this cannot be solved.

+The supervisor's read access would fail with UNIX permissions, since they are limited to one owner, one group, and "others". 
+Access Control Lists (ACLs) resolve this problem by allowing permissions beyond the standard three. 
+Using `setfacl`, we can append specific read and execute rights (r-x) for individual users (the supervisors) directly to the files and directories.

+Passwords are stored in the /etc/shadow file, which is restricted to the root user. 
+A standard user cannot write to it directly. However, the passwd executable is owned by root and has the SUID permission set. 
+When a standard user runs passwd, the SUID bit tells the system to execute the program with the privileges of root,

+The script runs with root privileges because the setuid bit is set. 
+Since it just asks for a username and saves the new hash to /etc/shadow, 
+and there is no validation checking if the user running the program is actually changing their own password, 
+someone could simply run the program, type root as the username, and set a new password for the root user.
