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.

The grep -ir "out of memory" /var/log command searches through log files in /var/log for any instances of "out of memory" errors, which indicate that the oom-killer terminated processes due to insufficient memory. This is the quickest way to determine if the oom-killer caused the MySQL process to be killed.

The Linux administrator should configure /etc/yum.repos.d/db.repo so that the requested packages can be installed. This file defines a custom repository for yum, which is a package manager for RPM-based systems. The file should contain information such as the name, baseurl, gpgcheck, and enabled options for the repository. By creating this file and enabling the repository, the administrator can use yum to install packages from the custom repository. The /etc/yum.conf file is the main configuration file for yum, but it does not define repositories. The /etc/ssh/sshd.conf file is the configuration file for sshd, which is a daemon that provides secure shell access to remote systems. The /etc/resolv.conf file is the configuration file for DNS resolution, which maps domain names to IP addresses. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Packages and Software, page 559.

The list of commands in option D is the correct way to achieve the goal. The commands are as follows:

fallocate -l 1G /ops/app.img creates a 1GB file named app.img under the /ops directory.

mkfs.xfs /ops/app.img formats the file as an XFS filesystem.

mount -o loop /ops/app.img /ops/app mounts the file as a loop device under the /ops/app directory. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong commands (dd or truncate instead of fallocate), the wrong options (-t or -f instead of -o), or the wrong order of arguments (/ops/app.img /ops/app instead of /ops/app /ops/app.img). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 10: Managing Storage, pages 323-324.
