D. A level 0 backup is a full backup, which backs up all files on the computer. See Chapter 9 for more information.

28. 

C. The Session layer is layer 5. In order, the layers (from bottom up) are Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. See Chapter 10 for more details.

29. 

B. The /etc/defaultdomain file contains the name of the domain that the computer belongs to. There is no /etc/domain file or /etc/domainname file. The /etc/hosts file is for host name resolution. See Chapter 10 for more information.

30. 

A, B. Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) are used to boot computers over the network. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is for assigning IP addresses and other network-related information to computers, and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol to initiate processes on remote computers that are already operational. See Chapter 10 for more information.

31. 

B. The Loopback File System (LOFS) enables you to create a new virtual root file system (/) within an existing file system. The Cache File System (CacheFS) is for speeding up access to slow devices, such as remote volumes or CD-ROM drives, and the Temporary File System (TMPFS) is for temporary files. VFS typically stands for Virtual File System, but all of the examples listed are virtual file systems (there is no specific VFS in Solaris). See Chapter 11 for more information.

32. 

A, B. All of the listed daemons are part of the NFS service. The only two that are required to be running for NFS to work are nfsd and mountd. See Chapter 11 for more information.

33. 

C. The direct map contains mappings between a mount point and a directory. All of the maps listed are automount maps. See Chapter 11 for more information.

34. 

D. A RAID 5 volume, also known as a disk stripe with parity, provides built-in fault tolerance as well as increased disk read speed. Transactional volumes are for logging and are being phased out. RAID 0 volumes do not provide fault tolerance. RAID 1 volumes (mirrored volumes) provide fault tolerance but aren't noted for their speed. See Chapter 12 for more information.

35. 

C, D, E. The RAID 1 read policies are round robin, geometric, and first. Parallel and serial are RAID 1 write policies. See Chapter 12 for more information.

36. 

B. RAID 0 volumes are used for speed. They increase hard disk I/O performance. They do not increase storage capacity, nor do they provide fault tolerance. Soft partitions allow for more than eight volumes per hard disk. See Chapter 12 for more information.

37. 

C. Users are associated with roles with the usermod command, not the rolemod command. The proper syntax is usermod -R rolename username. See Chapter 13 for more information.

38. 

B. The setfacl command is used to create Access Control Lists. The setacl and mkacl commands do not exist. The chmod command is used to modify standard file and directory permissions. See Chapter 13 for more information.

39. 

A. The entry is a user entry from the /etc/user_attr file, which grants access to profiles and authorizations. The four files listed are all role-based access control (RBAC) database files. See Chapter 13 for more information.

40. 

B. The last command gets its information from the /var/adm/wtmpx file. The who command gets its information from the /var/adm/utpmx file. See Chapter 14 for more information.

41. 

D. The logger command is used to manually edit the system log. The syslog command is shorthand for the system log, and the syslogedit and logedit commands do not exist. See Chapter 14 for more information

42. 

A. The Internet services daemon, inetd, is responsible for listening for and responding to all incoming TCP and UDP connection requests. The syslogd daemon is responsible for logging syslog activity. The listend and tcpd daemons do not exist. See Chapter 14 for more information.

43. 

A. The maps for a domain are stored in the /var/yp/domainname directory. In this case, that would be /var/yp/flyingsquid.com. See Chapter 15 for more information.

44. 

D. The /etc directory is the default directory for the source files. This can be changed by editing /var/yp/makefile. By default, the /var/maps and /var/nis directories do not exist. The /var/yp directory contains NIS information and files. See Chapter 15 for more information.

45. 

B. The name service switch file, /etc/nsswitch.conf, tells the local computer which name service (NIS, NIS+, DNS, LDAP, or files) to use to resolve host names, as well as to obtain other critical network information. The /etc/hosts file resolves IP addresses to host names, and the /etc/defaultdomain file contains the computer's domain name. See Chapter 15 for more information.

46. 

A, B, C, D. All of the Solaris installation programs can be used to install from a Web Start Flash archive. See Chapter 16 for more information.

47. 

C. The rules.ok file is used to match a client computer to an installation profile. As the administrator, you create the rules file and validate it. The validated version, rules.ok, is used by custom JumpStart. See Chapter 16 for more information.

48. 

B, C, D. You have three options for an installation type when using custom JumpStart. You can choose an initial installation (initial_install), an upgrade (upgrade), or an installation from a Web Start Flash archive (flash_install). See Chapter 16 for more information.
