The rpm -qf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command will identify the RPM package that installed the configuration file. This command will query the database of installed packages and display the name of the package that owns the specified file. The rpm -ql /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is invalid, as -ql is not a valid option for rpm. The rpm --query /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is incorrect, as --query requires a package name, not a file name. The rpm -q /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is incorrect, as -q requires a package name, not a file name. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Packages and Software, page 560.

To unlock an account that has been locked due to login failures, the administrator can use the command pam_tally2 --user=dev2 --reset (D). This will reset the failure counter for the user “dev2” and allow the user to log in again. The other commands will not unlock the account, but either display or increase the failure count. References:

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 command ssh -i "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1 would allow the administrator to connect securely to the remote server in order to install application software. The ssh command is a tool for establishing secure and encrypted connections between remote systems. The -i option specifies the identity file that contains the private key for key-based authentication. The "ABC-key.pem" is the name of the identity file that contains the private key. The root@10.0.0.1 is the username and the IP address of the remote server. The command ssh -i "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1 will connect to the remote server using the private key and allow the administrator to install application software. This is the correct command to use to connect securely to the remote server. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use key-based authentication (sftp root@10.0.0.1 or telnet 10.0.0.1 80) or do not use the correct syntax for the command (scp "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1 instead of scp -i "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1 or sftp "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1 instead of sftp -i "ABC-key.pem" root@10.0.0.1). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 17: Implementing Basic Security, page 513.
