Root 16.Which file defines all users on your system? a./etc/passwd b./etc/users c./etc/shadow

1. Which is the command to ON the service on run level 2 &4 A. chkconfig --list <service name > 24 on B. chdconf -level <service name > 24 ON C. chkconfig *level 24 <service name> on D. chkconfig --level 24 <service name> on 1. D. chkconfig --level 24 <service name> on 2. One of the administrators has accidentally deleted the /etc/passwd file. Since nobody can login without that file, you had to use a rescue floppy disk to get into the system. Which of the following editors would you use to edit that file? A. emacs B. vi C. WordPerfect D. pine

2. B. The vi editor is often the only editor available on a rescue floppy, unlike the Red Hat

rescue CD. _ A, C, and D are incorrect because these tools are not available on rescue disks. Furthermore, if you use StarOffice or WordPerfect to edit a configuration file, you may forget to save it in text format, which would make it unreadable to Linux. Pine is just an e-mail manager, not suitable for editing text files.

3. Which of the following vi commands would you use to copy the currently highlighted line in the /etc/inittab file? A. p B. c C. yy D. cw 3. C. The yy command copies the entire line associated with the current location of the cursor.

You can then use the p command to insert that line into the file. _ A is incorrect, since the p command only takes data from the buffer. B is incorrect, since
there is no c command. D is incorrect, since it places only one word into the buffer.
4. A. B. C. D. What is the command to display the status of the cluster statclu clustat status clus clust status

4. B. clustat 5. Which of the following commands would you use to apply fdisk to the second IDE hard drive? A. /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda B. /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda C. /sbin/fdisk /dev/sdb D. /sbin/fdisk /dev/hdb 5. D. Linux assigns /dev/hdb to the second IDE hard drive.

_ A is wrong, since /dev/sda represents the first SCSI hard drive. B is wrong, since /dev/hda represents the first IDE hard drive. C is wrong, since /dev/sdb represents the second SCSI hard drive.
6. Youre suspecting disk problems with the partition where the /home directory is mounted. Which of the following steps should you take? A. umount /home B. /sbin/fsck /home C. Back up the contents of the /home directory D. Go into single-user mode 6. A, B, C, and D. You need to apply the fsck command to the partition where /home is

mounted. But first, since you should not apply this command on a mounted directory, you need to unmount /home. And since fsck can be destructive to your data, you should back up the contents of /home as well. This is often not possible unless youre in single-user mode; it sometimes helps to use a rescue disk (which by default also starts Linux without mounting any directories, in single-user mode).
7. Which of the following commands would you use to mount a MS-DOS floppy disk? A. mount -t /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy B. mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy C. mount -t ext3/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy D. mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 7. D. Current MS-DOS floppy disks are usually formatted to VFAT, which supports long

filenames. _ A is not correct, since you need to specify a file type with the -t switch. B and C are not correct, since ext2 and ext3 are unusable file types for a MS-DOS disk.

8. At the command line interface, what would you do to scroll backward through the history of previous commands? A. Run the history command. B. Press the PAGE UP key C. Press the PAGE DOWN key D. Press the RIGHT ARROW key

8. B. When youre at the command line interface, the UP ARROW or the PAGE UP key allows

you to scroll back through a history of previously executed commands. _ A is incorrect. This question is a bit tricky, as the history command does put previous commands on your screen. And you could pipe this command to less, which would allow you to scroll back through previous commands at your leisure. But strictly speaking, while the history command does scroll through previous commands, it does not scroll backward. C is incorrect, as the PAGE DOWN key scrolls down the history. D is incorrect, as it does not do anything in the history of previous commands.

9. Youve logged in as user pm. Then you run the su command, entered the necessary information when prompted, and then run the cd ~ command. When you then run pwd, what do you see? A. /home/pm B. /home C. /root D. / 9. C. When you run su and enter the root password, you take the role of the root user.

Therefore, when you then run cd ~, youre moving to the root users home directory, /root. _ A is incorrect, since pm is not the root user. B is incorrect, since /home does not correspond to any users home directory. D is not correct, since the top-level root directory, /, is not any users home directory.
10. Which of the following commands returns the actual number of times user mj is logged into your Linux computer? A. wc -l B. who | grep mj C. who | wc -l D. who | grep mj | wc -l 10. D. While this level of piping isnt covered in this chapter, this should be a straightforward

question if youre sufficiently familiar with basic command line tools. The who command returns every active login of every user. Piping the result returns just the lines associated with the logins of user mj. Piping that result to wc -l returns the actual number of lines. _ A is not correct, as the wc command needs a file or other input to read first. B is not correct, as it returns the lines associated with the logins of user mj. While you could count the number of lines, that does not address the requirements of the question. C is not correct, as it would return the number of times all users are logged into this system.
11. Youre maintaining a large queue of print jobs on your network, and you need some job numbers to make sure the engineers get highest priority on the printer.Which of the following commands lists print job numbers? A. lpr -l B. lpq -l C. lprm -l D. lpd

11. B. The lpq -l command checks print queues. If you get an error message from this command,

you may need to install a printer first. _ A is incorrect, as lpr is a print command, and its -l switch tells lpr to expect a binary file. C is incorrect, as lprm is for removing print jobs. D is incorrect, as lpd is the line print daemon. While this must be running before you can check a print queue, lpd does not itself check print queues.
12. Which of the following commands would you use to add the /usr/sbin directory to your PATH? A. $PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin B. $PATH=PATH:/usr/sbin C. PATH=$PATH:/sbin D. PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin 12. D. The variable is PATH. When you input $PATH, the value of that variable, in this case,

the directories in your path, are substituted in this equation. _ A and B are not correct, since $PATH is not itself a variable. C is not correct, since /sbin

is the wrong directory.

13. When you run the umask command, you see the following result: 0000. The next time you create a file, what will be the permissions? A. drwxrwxrwx B. ---------C. -rwxr-xr-x D. -rw-rw-rw13. D. The effect of umask has changed. Even if you try to set it to allow execute permissions,

Red Hat wont let you do this anymore. Youll need to set execute permissions on each file after creation. _ A is not correct, since the file is not necessarily a directory, and execute permissions are no longer set up by default. B is not correct, as this would correspond to a umask value of 0666 or 0777. C is not correct, as execute permissions are no longer set up by default.
14. Youve just added several new users by directly editing the /etc/passwd file. Which of the following things do you need to do to make sure that passwords are properly encrypted per the Shadow Password Suite? A. pwconv B. pwunconv C. grpconv D. grpunconv 14. A. The pwconv command converts any passwords in /etc/passwd to /etc/shadow, which

is hidden from all but the root user. This is also part of the Shadow Password Suite. _ B and D are incorrect, since they convert user and group passwords from (not to) the Shadow Password Suite. C is not correct, since it converts group passwords, and no new group was created in this question.
15. Youve logged in as a regular user. Youve taken advice to heart to keep your use of the superuser account to a minimum. Which of the following commands would run a single program named rooter that requires superuser privileges and then automatically returns to the regular account? A. su rooter B. su -c rooter C. superuser rooter D. /sbin/su -c rooter 15. B. The form su -c command prompts you for the root password. When the command

is complete, the shell returns you to the prompt for the original user. _ A is incorrect because the su rooter command tries to log you in as the user named rooter. C is incorrect, as there is no superuser command. D is not correct, as there is no /sbin/su command.
16. In which of the following directories can you find scripts or links to scripts organized by runlevel?

A. /etc/rc.d/init.d B. /etc/rc.d C. /rc.d D. /etc/init.d 16. B. There are subdirectories organized by runlevel in the /etc/rc.d directory, including rc0.d,

rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d, and rc6.d. _ A is not correct. While the actual scripts are located in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, there are no clues here to the actual runlevels. C and D are incorrect, as there are no /rc.d or /etc/init.d directories, at least in the current version of Red Hat Linux.
17. Based on the following line from one of your users crontab file, when will the Berkeleylives program be run? 0 1 2 3 * Berkeleylives A. At 1:23 A.M. every day B. At 1:00 A.M. on March 2 C. At 1:00 A.M. on February 3 D. At 2:00 A.M. on March 2 17. B. This is based on the convention for the first five entries in a crontab line: minute, hour,

day of month, month, and day of week. _ A, C, and D are incorrect, as they are readings of the cited crontab line that dont correspond to the convention.
18. Which of the following commands would you use to store the contents of /home in a compressed tarball? A. /sbin/tarball czvf /home B. tar czvf home.tar.gz /home C. tar xzvf home.tar.gz /home D. tarball czvf home.tar.gz /home 18. B. While not covered in this chapter, the tar command is quite important to any Linux

administrator. The czvf switches collect, compress, and verify the group of files under /home in a specific file. If youre not familiar with how tar switches work, study the references cited at the beginning of this chapter. Its important. _ A and D are not correct, as there is no tarball command. C is not correct, as this command extracts (x) files.
19. Which of the following sets of numbers, in order, correspond to an appropriate network address, subnet mask, and broadcast address? A. 192.168.14.255, 255.255.255.0 192.168.14.0 B. 192.168.14.0, 255.255.255.0 192.168.14.255 C. 255.255.255.0 192.168.14.255, 192.168.14.0 D. 192.168.14.0, 192.168.14.255, 255.255.255.0 19. B. By convention, a network with a 192.168.14.0 address with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask

uses a 192.168.14.255 broadcast address. _ A is not correct, as there cannot be a network that starts with a broadcast address. C is

not correct, as there cannot be a network that starts with a subnet mask. D is not correct, as 255.255.255.0 is not a qualified broadcast address.
20. Which of the following services works to connect Linux to a Microsoft Windowsbased network? A. NFS B. SMB C. DNS D. Windows for Workgroups 20. B. The Server Message Block (SMB) file system, also known as Samba, is the standard way

to connect Linux as a member of a Microsoft Windows- or IBM OS/2-based network. _ A is not correct. While it is possible to set up Services for Unix on some Microsoft Windows computers, that would no longer be a Microsoft Windows-based network. C is not correct, since the Domain Name System has nothing to do with protocols necessary to connect operating systems. D is not correct, since Windows for Workgroups is not an available service in Linux.
21. Which of the following commands are associated with a Red Hat Linux firewall configuration utility? A. lokwall B. lokkit C. firewall-config D. firewall-lokkit 21. B and C are both current Red Hat Linux firewall configuration utilities.
