1. Which of the following best describes the relationship between Linux
   distributions (RedHat, Suse, Debian, etc...) and Linux Kernel code.

   a. The distributions have different   b. The distributions have identical
      tools, init scripts, and kernel       tools, init scripts, and kernel
      code bases.                           code bases.
D
   c. The distributions have identical   d. The distributions have different
      tools, init scripts, but different    tools, init scripts, but use
      kernel code bases.                    identical kernel code bases.

2. In installing and configuring  Linux identify the ORDER (1, 2, 3, 4) in which the
   following commands would be used:

   _3_ a. mkfs     (Sets up a Linux file system)

   _4_ b. mount    (Mounts the file system on a directory)

   _1_ c. mknod    (Creates /dev/hda)

   _2_ d. fdisk    (requires /dev/hda as operand)

Consider the following two mount commands:

   (1)  mount -t ext2 /dev/hda  /parta
   (2)  mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /parta

3. Which one demonstrates the correct way to mount a filesystem

   a. (1)                               b. (2)
(2)
   c. Both are equivalent and           d. Both are hopelessly broken
      work fine

4. Which best describes what /parta should be:

   a. a node in /dev created with       b. A directory in the root directory
      mknod
B
   c. a directory in /dev               d. the name of a disk partition

5. An IP address is bound to the eth0 device in:

   a. /etc/sysconfig/network            b. /etc/hosts
C
   c. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

6. Bindings of various host names to IP addresses may be
   specified in:

   a. /etc/resolv.conf                  b. /etc/hosts
B
   c. /etc/sysconfig/network            d. /etc/passwd

7. The address of a system's primary and secondary DNS nameserver
   may be specified in:

   a. /etc/resolv.conf                  b. /etc/hosts
A
   c. /etc/sysconfig/network            d. /etc/passwd

8. To individually enable or disable the rlogin, telnet, ftp daemons
   it is necessary to edit files that reside in the directory:

   a. /etc/rc.d                         b. /etc/rc.d/init.d
C
   c. /etc/xinetd.d                     d. /etc/rc.d/rc3.d

 9. To specify file systems that are to be automatically mounted and
    boot time it is necessary to edit:

   a. /etc/mounttab                     b. /etc/exports
C
   c. /etc/fstab                        d. /etc/passwd

10. Suppose I wish to install the newest kernel 2.4.17. I presently
    have 2.4.5 installed and configured as we did in lab1.  I have
    linux-2.4.17.tgz resident in /usr/src which is my current working
    directory. Complete the following commands in such a way that
    2.4.17 will be installed as the current kernel WITHOUT damaging
    the 2.4.5 sources:

    a. rm    linux


    b. tar  xzvf  linux-2.4.17.tgz


    c. mv  linux  linux-2.4.17


    d. ln -s  linux-2.4.17 linux


11. After I compile the new 2.4.17 kernel and move it to /boot
    what else MUST I do to be able to boot it? (This is
    NOT asking about updating System.map which is optional)


    a.  Add it to the config file /etc/lilo.conf


    b.  Run /sbin/lilo


12. The register_chrdev() function is (we are talking here about
    the BODY OF CODE THAT IMPLEMENTS THE FUNCTION and NOT about
    a single line of code that calls the function):

    a. Present in device drivers       b. Present in the kernel and
       and called by the kernel           called by apps
C
    c. Present in the kernel and       d. Present in device drivers
       called by device drivers           and called by apps.


13. One of the parameters that is passed to register_chrdev() is
    a table of pointers to functions.  These pointers point to
    functions that are:

    a. Present in device drivers       b. Present in the kernel and
       and called by the kernel           called by apps
A
    c. Present in the kernel and       d. Present in device drivers
       called by device drivers           and called by apps.
