Question 1

A(n)____ print server is a boxlike device that has a NIC (or WNIC)and one,two,or more ports for connecting printers,such as USB or parallel ports.

Accepted Answer

A dedicated print server is specifically designed to manage printing tasks and has ports for connecting printers. An independent or autonomous server does not necessarily have printer ports, and an extended server is not a commonly used term in networking.

Question 2

Peer-to-peer networks can be effective for small networks because they are inexpensive to maintain.

Accepted Answer

Peer-to-peer networks do not require expensive server equipment and software, making them a cost-effective option for small networks. Instead, each computer on the network serves as both a client and a server, sharing resources and files with each other. This eliminates the need for a central server, reducing maintenance and operational costs.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a valid printer share permission in Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Print, Manage documents, and Manage this printer are all valid printer share permissions in Windows 7, but Delete printer queue is not a valid option.

Question 4

In a network with no DHCP server,computers can automatically assign themselves an IP address from the reserved range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254,an addressing mode called which of the following?

Accepted Answer

APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) is the addressing mode used when there is no DHCP server available. It allows a computer to assign itself a unique IP address from the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This IP address is not guaranteed to be unique on the network and should only be used as a temporary solution until a DHCP server becomes available.

Question 5

____ are used in UNIX/Linux for granting permissions to one user or a group of users to access specific resources.

Accepted Answer

Groups are used in UNIX/Linux for granting permissions to one user or a group of users to access specific resources. Users can be added to a group and the group is given permissions to access certain files or directories. This makes it easier to grant and manage permissions for multiple users at once.

Question 6

Which of the following is a specialized server that is located on a company network for the purpose of enabling users to access network resources from home or while traveling?

Accepted Answer

A remote access server is designed to allow users to remotely access network resources from outside the company network. DHCP server allocates IP addresses to devices on a network. Network management server is used for managing network devices and monitoring network performance. Virtual Web server is used for hosting websites or web-based applications. Therefore, the specialized server that enables users to access network resources from home or while traveling is a remote access server.

Question 7

The ____ file contains the clients that are allowed to use NFS.

Accepted Answer

The /etc/hosts.allow file is used to specify which clients are allowed to use services such as NFS on a Unix-like system.

Question 8

Which of the following is NOT a printer component used by Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)?

Accepted Answer

"lpset" is not a printer component used by Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). The other three options, "lpr", "lpd", and "/etc/printcap", are all components used by BSD for printing.

Question 9

NTFS and share permissions in combination on the same folder are cumulative.

Accepted Answer

When NTFS and share permissions are combined, the most restrictive permission applies, not a cumulative effect.

Question 10

In UNIX/Linux,a mapped drive is called a ____ volume.

Accepted Answer

In UNIX/Linux, a mapped drive is called a mounted volume. The process of mounting a file system makes it available for access and assigns a mount point to it in the system hierarchy. The mount point is essentially a directory that serves as an entry point for the file system. Once mounted, the file system can be accessed through this mount point as if it were a normal directory.

Question 11

Which type of network are you running if your computer is a member of a workgroup?

Accepted Answer

If your computer is a member of a workgroup, it means that it is part of a peer-to-peer network, where each computer has an equal status and can share resources with other computers in the network. A workgroup is typically used in small-scale environments, such as in homes, small businesses, or small departments within a larger organization. Domain networks, on the other hand, are used in larger organizations where there is a centralized server for authentication, security, and management of resources. Mainframe networks refer to a type of computer system that is designed to handle large-scale data processing and storage, which is not applicable to most standard network environments. Wireless is a type of network connectivity that can be used in conjunction with either peer-to-peer or domain networks.

Question 12

The ____ file permission category in UNIX/Linux systems typically entails all permissions and is designated by the letter u.

Accepted Answer

The "u" in UNIX/Linux file permissions stands for "user," which refers to the file or directory's owner. This category typically entails all permissions (read, write, execute) for the owner.

Question 13

In Fedora Linux,UIDs with a value less than 500 are typically used for which purpose?

Accepted Answer

UIDs with a value less than 500 are reserved for system-based accounts, such as for services and daemons that run in the background of the operating system. Regular users typically have UIDs in the range of 500 to 60,000. Power users and disabled accounts are not typically associated with a specific UID range.

Question 14

Permissions are set up by using the ____ command in UNIX/Linux.

Accepted Answer

The chmod command is used to set permissions in UNIX/Linux systems. It allows users to specify which users or groups can read, write, or execute a file. The command stands for "change mode" and can be used with various arguments to modify permissions for different users and groups. The other options (A, B, C) are not related to setting permissions.

Question 15

The passwd file in Linux contains user passwords in plain text format so that file must not be accessible to any user but the administrator.

Accepted Answer

The passwd file in Linux does not contain user passwords in plain text format; it contains user account information. Passwords are stored in a hashed format in the shadow file, which is accessible only to the root user.

Question 16

Which of the following is used to manage access to shared resources in most operating systems?

Accepted Answer

User accounts are typically used to manage access to shared resources in most operating systems. Each user is given a unique account which can be granted specific permissions to access certain resources. The use of user accounts allows for better control and tracking of who has access to what resources. Computer accounts are used for authentication purposes on network domains, permission accounts do not exist as a specific term, and administrator accounts are used for managing the system rather than controlling access to shared resources.

Question 17

Samba software runs on Linux operating systems and supports SMB protocol.

Accepted Answer

Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB networking protocol, and it runs on Linux, Unix-based systems, and other operating systems. Therefore, option A is correct.

Question 18

In Windows 7,you cannot set permissions on a shared printer,although you can do so on Windows Server 2008.

Accepted Answer

In Windows 7, you can set permissions on a shared printer just as you can in Windows Server 2008, allowing you to control who can access and use the printer.

Question 19

Which of the following Linux/UNIX commands makes an NFS volume available?

Accepted Answer

The "mount" command is used in Linux/UNIX systems to make a filesystem available for use. In the case of NFS (Network File System), the "mount" command is used to mount a remote NFS share and make it available for use on the local system. Chmod, ifconfig, and usermod are all commands used for different purposes, and do not directly relate to NFS volume availability.

Question 20

Which of the following commands will create a new user account in Fedora Linux?

Accepted Answer

The "useradd" command is used in Fedora Linux to create a new user account. Option A is not a valid command, Option C does not exist and Option D is not a valid command.
