NEW QUESTION # 164
A Linux administrator is troubleshooting an issue in which users are not able to access
https://portal.comptia.org from a specific workstation. The
administrator runs a few commands and receives the following output:
Which of the following tasks should the administrator perform to resolve this issue?
- A. Update the name server in resolv. conf to use an external DNS server.
- B. Clear the local DNS cache on the workstation and rerun the host command.
- C. Add a network route from the 10.10.10.0/24 to the 192.168.0.0/16.
- D. Remove the entry for portal . comptia.org from the local hosts file.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The best task to perform to resolve this issue is B. Remove the entry for portal.comptia.org from the local hosts file. This is because the local hosts file has a wrong entry that maps portal.comptia.org to 10.10.10.55, which is different from the actual IP address of 192.168.1.55 that is returned by the DNS server. This causes a mismatch and prevents the workstation from accessing the website. By removing or correcting the entry in the hosts file, the workstation will use the DNS server to resolve the domain name and access the website successfully.
To remove or edit the entry in the hosts file, you need to have root privileges and use a text editor such as vi or nano. For example, you can run the command:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
and delete or modify the line that says:
10.10.10.55 portal.comptia.org
Then save and exit the file.
NEW QUESTION # 165
A systems administrator wants to list all local accounts in which the UID is greater than 500. Which of the following commands will give the correct output?
- A. awk -F: '$3 > 500 {print $1}' /etc/passwd
- B. cut -d: fl / etc/ passwd > 500
- C. sed '/UID/' /etc/passwd < 500
- D. find /etc/passwd -size +500
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct command to list all local accounts in which the UID is greater than 500 is:
awk -F: '$3 > 500 {print $1}' /etc/passwd
This command uses awk to process the /etc/passwd file, which contains information about the local users on the system. The -F: option specifies that the fields are separated by colons. The $3 refers to the third field, which is the UID. The condition $3 > 500 filters out the users whose UID is greater than 500. The action {print $1} prints the first field, which is the username.
The other commands are incorrect because:
find /etc/passwd -size +500 will search for files that are larger than 500 blocks in size, not users with UID greater than 500.
cut -d: fl / etc/ passwd > 500 will cut the first field of the /etc/passwd file using colon as the delimiter, but it will not filter by UID or print only the usernames. The > 500 part will redirect the output to a file named 500, not compare with the UID.
sed '/UID/' /etc/passwd < 500 will use sed to edit the /etc/passwd file and replace any line that contains UID with 500, not list the users with UID greater than 500. The < 500 part will redirect the input from a file named 500, not compare with the UID.

NEW QUESTION # 166
While inspecting a recently compromised Linux system, the administrator identified a number of processes that should not have been running:
Which of the following commands should the administrator use to terminate all of the identified processes?
- A. skill -9 "upload*.sh"
- B. pkill -9 -f "upload*.sh"
- C. killall -9 -upload*.sh"
- D. kill -9 "upload*.sh"
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The pkill -9 -f "upload*.sh" command will terminate all of the identified processes. This command will send a SIGKILL signal (-9) to all processes whose full command line matches the pattern "upload*.sh" (-f). This signal will force the processes to terminate immediately without giving them a chance to clean up or save their state. The kill -9 "upload*.sh" command is invalid, as kill requires a process ID (PID), not a pattern. The killall -9 "upload*.sh" command is incorrect, as killall requires an exact process name, not a pattern. The skill
-9 "upload*.sh" command is incorrect, as skill requires a username or a session ID (SID), not a pattern. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 15: Managing Memory and Process Execution, page 470.
NEW QUESTION # 167
A Linux administrator is tasked with adding users to the system. However, the administrator wants to ensure the users' access will be disabled once the project is over. The expiration date should be 2021-09-30. Which of the following commands will accomplish this task?
- A. sudo modinfo -F 2021-09-30 Project_uses
- B. sudo useradd -m -d 2021-09-30 Project_user
- C. sudo useradd -c 2021-09-30 Project_user
- D. sudo useradd -e 2021-09-30 Project_user
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The command that will accomplish this task is sudo useradd -e 2021-09-30 Project_user. This command will create a new user account named Project_user with an expiration date of 2021-09-30. The -e option of useradd specifies the date on which the user account will be disabled in YYYY-MM-DD format.
The other options are not correct commands for creating a user account with an expiration date. The sudo useradd -c 2021-09-30 Project_user command will create a new user account named Project_user with a comment of 2021-09-30. The -c option of useradd specifies a comment or description for the user account, not an expiration date. The sudo modinfo -F 2021-09-30 Project_user command is invalid because modinfo is not a command for managing user accounts, but a command for displaying information about kernel modules. The
-F option of modinfo specifies a field name to show, not an expiration date. The sudo useradd -m -d
2021-09-30 Project_user command will create a new user account named Project_user with a home directory of 2021-09-30. The -m option of useradd specifies that the home directory should be created if it does not exist, and the -d option specifies the home directory name, not an expiration date.

NEW QUESTION # 168
Joe, a user, is unable to log in to the Linux system Given the following output:
Which of the following command would resolve the issue?
- A. pam_tally2 -u joe -r
- B. passwd -u joe
- C. usermod -s /bin/bash joe
- D. chage -E 90 joe
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Based on the output of the image sent by the user, Joe is unable to log in to the Linux system because his account has been locked due to too many failed login attempts. The pam_tally2 -u joe -r command will resolve this issue by resetting Joe's failed login counter to zero and unlocking his account. This command uses the pam_tally2 module to manage user account locking based on login failures. The usermod -s /bin/bash joe command will change Joe's login shell to /bin/bash, but this will not unlock his account. The passwd -u joe command will unlock Joe's password if it has been locked by passwd -l joe, but this will not reset his failed login counter or unlock his account if it has been locked by pam_tally2. The chage -E 90 joe command will set Joe's account expiration date to 90 days from today, but this will not unlock his account or reset his failed login counter.

NEW QUESTION # 169
An administrator attempts to rename a file on a server but receives the following error.
The administrator then runs a few commands and obtains the following output:
Which of the following commands should the administrator run NEXT to allow the file to be renamed by any user?
- A. chacl -R 644 files
- B. chown users files
- C. chmod -t files
- D. chgrp reet files
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The command that the administrator should run NEXT to allow the file to be renamed by any user is chmod -t files. This command uses the chmod tool, which is used to change file permissions and access modes. The -t option removes (or sets) the sticky bit on a directory, which restricts deletion or renaming of files within that directory to only their owners or root. In this case, since files is a directory with sticky bit set (indicated by t in drwxrwxrwt), removing it will allow any user to rename or delete files within that directory.
The other options are not correct commands for allowing any user to rename files within files directory. The chgrp reet files command will change the group ownership of files directory to reet, but it will not affect its permissions or access modes. The chacl -R 644 files command is invalid, as chacl is used to change file access control lists (ACLs), not permissions or access modes. The chown users files command will change the user ownership of files directory to users, but it will not affect its permissions or access modes.

NEW QUESTION # 170
A systems administrator is encountering performance issues. The administrator runs 3 commands with the following output
The Linux server has the following system properties
CPU: 4 vCPU
Memory: 50GB
Which of the following accurately describes this situation?
- A. The system has been running for over a year and requires a reboot.
- B. Too many users are currently logged in to the system
- C. The system requires more memory
- D. The system is under CPU pressure and will require additional vCPUs
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 171
Which of the following can be used as a secure way to access a remote terminal?
- A. SFTP
- B. SCP
- C. SSH
- D. TFTP
Answer: C
Explanation:
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a protocol that allows you to access a remote terminal or virtual machine securely over an encrypted connection. You can use SSH to run commands, transfer files, or tunnel network traffic on a remote system. To use SSH, you need an SSH client program on your local system and an SSH server program on the remote system. You also need to authenticate yourself using a username and password or a public/private key pair. SSH is widely used by system administrators, developers, and engineers to remotely manage Linux servers and other devices.
The other options are not correct answers. TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a simple protocol that allows you to transfer files between systems, but it does not provide any security or encryption features. SCP, or Secure Copy Protocol, is a protocol that uses SSH to securely copy files between systems, but it does not provide a remote terminal access. FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is another protocol that allows you to transfer files between systems, but it also does not provide any security or encryption features.
NEW QUESTION # 172
A new file was added to a main Git repository. An administrator wants to synchronize a local copy with the contents of the main repository. Which of the following commands should the administrator use for this task?
- A. git reflog
- B. git pull
- C. git push
- D. git status
Answer: B
Explanation:
The command iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.0.2.25:3128 adds a rule to the nat table that redirects all incoming TCP packets with destination port 80 (HTTP) to the proxy server 192.0.2.25 on port 3128. This is the correct way to achieve the task. The other options are incorrect because they either delete a rule (-D), use the wrong protocol (top instead of tcp), or use the wrong port (81 instead of 80). Reference: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, page 381.

NEW QUESTION # 174
A senior Linux administrator has created several scripts that will be used to install common system applications. These scripts are published to a reposito-ry to share with the systems team. A junior Linux administrator needs to re-trieve the scripts and make them available on a local workstation. Which of the following Git commands should the junior Linux administrator use to accom-plish this task?
- A. branch
- B. checkout
- C. fetch
- D. clone
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
To retrieve the scripts from a repository and make them available on a local workstation, the junior Linux administrator can use the command git clone . This will create a copy of the repository on the local machine, including all the scripts and history. The other commands will not clone the repository, but either fetch, checkout, or branch from an existing repository.

NEW QUESTION # 175
A User on a Linux workstation needs to remotely start an application on a Linux server and then forward the graphical display of that application back to the Linux workstation. Which of the following would enable the user to perform this action?
- A. ssh user@server application
- B. ssh -D user@server application
- C. ssh -X user@server application
- D. ssh -y user@server application
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The ssh -X option enables X11 forwarding, which allows the user to run graphical applications on the remote server and display them on the local workstation. The user needs to specify the username, the server address, and the application name after the ssh -X command. The remote server also needs to have X11Forwarding enabled and xauth installed for this to work.
References:
The web search result 8 explains how to run a GUI application through SSH by configuring both the SSH client and server.
The web search result 6 provides a detailed answer on how to forward X over SSH to run graphics applications remotely, with examples and troubleshooting tips.
The CompTIA Linux+ Certification Exam Objectives mention that the candidate should be able to "use SSH for remote access and management" as part of the System Operation and Maintenance domain1.
NEW QUESTION # 176
An administrator is trying to diagnose a performance issue and is reviewing the following output:
System Properties:
CPU: 4 vCPU
Memory: 40GB
Disk maximum IOPS: 690
Disk maximum throughput: 44Mbps | 44000Kbps
Based on the above output, which of the following BEST describes the root cause?
- A. The system is mostly idle, therefore the iowait is high.
- B. The system has reached its maximum permitted throughput, therefore iowait is increasing.
- C. The system has reached its maximum IOPS, causing the system to be slow.
- D. The system has a partitioned disk, which causes the IOPS to be doubled.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The system has reached its maximum permitted throughput, therefore iowait is increasing. The output of iostat
-x shows that the device sda has an average throughput of 44.01 MB/s, which is equal to the disk maximum throughput of 44 Mbps. The output also shows that the device sda has an average iowait of 99.99%, which means that the CPU is waiting for the disk to complete the I/O requests. This indicates that the disk is the bottleneck and the system is slow due to the high iowait. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported by the outputs. The system has not reached its maximum IOPS, as the device sda has an average IOPS of 563.50, which is lower than the disk maximum IOPS of 690. The system is not mostly idle, as the output of top shows that the CPU is 100% busy. The system does not have a partitioned disk, as the output of lsblk shows that the device sda has only one partition sda1.

NEW QUESTION # 177
A systems administrator is deploying three identical, cloud-based servers. The administrator is using the following code to complete the task:
Which of the following technologies is the administrator using?
- A. Puppet
- B. Ansible
- C. Terraform
- D. Chef
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The code snippet is written in Terraform language, which is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure as code. Terraform uses a declarative syntax to describe the desired state of the infrastructure and applies the changes accordingly. The code defines a resource of type aws_instance, which creates an AWS EC2 instance, and sets the attributes such as the AMI ID, instance type, security group IDs, and key name. The code also uses a count parameter to create three identical instances and assigns them different names using the count.index variable. This is the correct technology that the administrator is using. The other options are incorrect because they use different languages and syntaxes for infrastructure as code. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 559.
NEW QUESTION # 178
A Linux administrator is tasked with adding users to the system. However, the administrator wants to ensure the users' access will be disabled once the project is over. The expiration date should be 2021-09-30. Which of the following commands will accomplish this task?
- A. sudo modinfo -F 2021-09-30 Project_uses
- B. sudo useradd -m -d 2021-09-30 Project_user
- C. sudo useradd -c 2021-09-30 Project_user
- D. sudo useradd -e 2021-09-30 Project_user
Answer: D
Explanation:
The command that will accomplish this task is sudo useradd -e 2021-09-30 Project_user. This command will create a new user account named Project_user with an expiration date of 2021-09-30. The -e option of useradd specifies the date on which the user account will be disabled in YYYY-MM-DD format.
The other options are not correct commands for creating a user account with an expiration date. The sudo useradd -c 2021-09-30 Project_user command will create a new user account named Project_user with a comment of 2021-09-30. The -c option of useradd specifies a comment or description for the user account, not an expiration date. The sudo modinfo -F 2021-09-30 Project_user command is invalid because modinfo is not a command for managing user accounts, but a command for displaying information about kernel modules. The -F option of modinfo specifies a field name to show, not an expiration date. The sudo useradd -m -d 2021-09-30 Project_user command will create a new user account named Project_user with a home directory of 2021-09-30. The -m option of useradd specifies that the home directory should be created if it does not exist, and the -d option specifies the home directory name, not an expiration date.
