CompTIA XK0-005 Actual Questions

The required changes need to be made to the /etc/login.defs configuration file. The /etc/login.defs file defines the default values for user and group IDs, passwords, shells, and other parameters for user and group creation. The file contains the directives UID_MIN, UID_MAX, GID_MIN, and GID_MAX, which set the minimum and maximum values for automatic user and group ID selection. The administrator can edit this file and change the values to match the organization’s new cybersecurity policies. This is the correct file to modify to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either do not affect the user and group IDs (/etc/security/limits.conf or /etc/profile) or do not set the default values (/etc/default/useradd). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 15: Managing Users and Groups, page 463.

The administrator should use the command df -i /oracle1 to diagnose the issue of users being unable to write data to the /oracle1 directory. This command will show the inode usage of the /oracle1 filesystem, which indicates how many files and directories can be created on it. If the inode usage is 100%, it means that no more files or directories can be added, even if there is still free space on the disk. The administrator can then delete some unnecessary files or directories, or increase the inode limit of the filesystem, to resolve the issue.

The other options are not correct commands for diagnosing this issue. The fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 command will show the partition table of /dev/sdb1, which is not relevant to the inode usage. The lsblk /dev/sdb1 command will show information about /dev/sdb1 as a block device, such as its size, mount point, and type, but not its inode usage. The du -sh /oracle1 command will show the disk usage of /oracle1 in human-readable format, but not its inode usage. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 7: Managing Disk Storage; How to Check Inode Usage in Linux - Fedingo

The command echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/operations1/bin' >> /etc/profile should be used to resolve the issue of users not being able to access the application without using the full path. The echo command prints the given string to the standard output. The export command sets an environment variable and makes it available to all child processes. The PATH variable contains a list of directories where the shell looks for executable files. The $PATH expands to the current value of the PATH variable. The : separates the directories in the list. The /opt/operations1/bin is the directory where the application is installed. The >> operator appends the output to the end of the file. The /etc/profile file is a configuration file that is executed when a user logs in. The command echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/operations1/bin' >> /etc/profile will add the /opt/operations1/bin directory to the PATH variable for all users and allow them to access the application without using the full path. This is the correct command to use to resolve the issue. The other options are incorrect because they either overwrite the PATH variable (echo 'export PATH=/opt/operations1/bin' >> /etc/profile) or do not use the correct syntax (echo 'export PATH=$PATH/opt/operations1/bin' >> /etc/profile or echo 'export $PATH:/opt/operations1/bin' >> /etc/profile). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 9: Working with the Linux Shell, page 295.

The command docker rm $(docker ps -aq) will allow the administrator to clean up the containers in an exited state. The docker command is a tool for managing Docker containers on Linux systems. Docker containers are isolated and lightweight environments that can run applications and services without affecting the host system. Docker uses images to create containers, which are files that contain the code, libraries, dependencies, and configuration of the applications and services. The rm option removes one or more containers. The $(docker ps -aq) is a command substitution that executes the command inside the parentheses and replaces it with the output. The docker ps -aq command lists all the containers, including the ones in an exited state, and shows only their IDs. The docker rm $(docker ps -aq) command will remove all the containers, including the ones in an exited state, by passing their IDs to the rm option. This will allow the administrator to clean up the containers in an exited state. This is the correct command to use to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (docker rm --all or docker rm --state exited) or do not remove the containers (docker images prune *). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 571.
