A systems administrator is creating new user accounts on several Linux machines and wants to automate the process from a Linux system used for operations. In this operations system, the list of servers is located in the /home/user/serverslist file and the list of user accounts is located in the /home/user/userslist file. Which of the following scripts will help accomplish this task?
Correct : B
The script in option B performs the task by SSH-ing into each server listed in serverslist and then adding each user listed in userslist. This is an effective way to remotely create user accounts without manually logging into each server. The ssh command allows the execution of the useradd commands on the remote machines.

Which of the following directories contains binaries that only a root user should run?
Correct : A
The /sbin directory contains essential system binaries that are typically only used by the root user. These binaries include commands like ifconfig, fdisk, and reboot, which require root privileges to execute. /bin contains user-level binaries, while /root is the home directory of the root user, and /lib holds shared libraries.

Linux system users report that over the past few months, a server has stopped responding at least twice each day. Every time this happens, the users have to restart the server to recover it. A systems administrator diagnosing the issue collects the following outputs:
csharp
Output 1
[Tue Aug 31 16:36:42 2021] oom-killer invoked by java: gfp_mask=0x280da2 order=0, oom_score_adj=0
[Tue Aug 31 16:36:42 2021] java cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0
makefile
Output 2
[root@server]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15819 15026 174 92 619 134
Swap: 0 0 0
Which of the following is the best permanent resolution for the system?
Correct : A
The oom-killer is invoked when the system runs out of memory, as indicated by the memory usage in the free -m output. Since swap space is not being used and physical memory is almost entirely consumed, adding more memory resources will prevent the system from running out of memory and invoking the oom-killer to terminate processes.

A Linux administrator is configuring network traffic forwarding. Despite having proper iptables rules, the traffic forwarding is not working. Which of the following commands will allow Linux to pass network traffic between different interfaces?
Correct : B
To enable IP forwarding, the kernel parameter net.ipv4.ip_forward must be set to 1. This is done by appending net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf and applying the changes using sysctl -p. This command ensures that the system can forward packets between different network interfaces.

A systems administrator created a new directory with specific permissions. Given the following output:
arduino
$ ls -ld /comptia
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Oct 20 20:13 /comptia
$ getfacl /comptia
# file: /comptia
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:wheel:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---
Which of the following permissions are enforced on /comptia?
Correct : A
According to the getfacl output, the default ACL for the group wheel is set to rwx, meaning members of the wheel group have read, write, and execute permissions. Therefore, they can access and manage files in the /comptia directory. Other users (other::---) have no permissions on this directory.
