The user has the wrong shell assigned to the account, which is causing the issue. The output 1 shows that the user’s shell is set to /bin/false, which is not a valid shell and will prevent the user from logging in. The output 2 shows that the user’s home directory has the correct permissions (drwxr-xr-x), and the output 3 shows that the user entered the correct password and was accepted by the SSH daemon, but the session was closed immediately due to the invalid shell. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported by the outputs. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 13: Managing Network Services, page 413.

The command git clone achieve the goal of downloading a Git repository from the given URL. The git command is a tool for managing version control systems. The clone option creates a copy of an existing repository. The URL specifies the location of the repository to clone, in this case The command git clone download the repository and create a directory named project in the current working directory. This is the correct command to use to accomplish the goal. The other options are incorrect because they either do not download the repository (git checkout, git pull, or git branch) or do not use the correct syntax (git checkout of git checkout -b project branch of git branch project Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 571.

The command ip route add 10.0.213.5/32 via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0 adds a static route to the routing table that sends packets destined for 10.0.213.5/32 (a single host) through the gateway 10.0.5.1 on the interface eth0. This is the correct way to achieve the goal. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong syntax (route -i etho -p add), the wrong command (route modify), or the wrong file (/proc/net/route). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, page 379.

The commands that can be used together to persistently enable IPv4 forwarding in one of the Linux systems are sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 and sysctl –p. The first command will use sysctl to write a new value (1) to the net.ipv4.ip_forward kernel parameter, which controls whether IP forwarding is enabled or disabled for IPv4. This will enable IP forwarding immediately without rebooting. However, this change is temporary and will be lost after a reboot or a system reload. To make it permanent, we need to use the second command sysctl –p, which will load kernel parameters from /etc/sysctl.conf file. This file contains key-value pairs of kernel parameters and their values. To make sure that net.ipv4.ip_forward is set to 1 in this file, we can either edit it manually or append it using echo “net.ipv4.ip_forward=1” >> /etc/sysctl.conf.

The other options are not correct commands for persistently enabling IPv4 forwarding. The sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward command will only display the current value of net.ipv4.ip_forward parameter, but not change it. The echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward command will write 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward file, which is another way to change net.ipv4.ip_forward parameter. However, this change is also temporary and will not survive a reboot or a system reload. The echo “net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=l” >> /etc/sysctl.conf command will append a line to /etc/sysctl.conf file that sets net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding parameter to 1. However, this parameter controls whether IP forwarding is enabled or disabled for IPv6, not IPv4. References: sysctl(8) - Linux manual page; Configure Linux as a Router (IP Forwarding)
