QUESTION 2
CORRECT TEXT
Dig Server1.example.com, Resolve to successfully through DNS Where DNS server is
172.24.254.254
Answer and Explanation
#vi etcresolv.conf
nameserver 172.24.254.254
# dig server1.example.com
#host server1.example.com
DNS is the Domain Name System, which maintains a database that can help your computer
translate domain names such as www.redhat.com to IP addresses such as 216.148.218.197. As
no individual DNS server is large enough to keep a database for the entire Internet, they can refer
requests to other DNS servers.
DNS is based on the named daemon, which is built on the BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain)
package developed through the Internet Software Consortium
Users wants to access by name so DNS will interpret the name into ip address. You need to
specify the Address if DNS server in each and every client machine. In Redhat Enterprise Linux,
you need to specify the DNS server into etcresolv.conf file.
After Specifying the DNS server address, you can verify using host, dig and nslookup commands.

QUESTION 6
CORRECT TEXT
neo user tried by
dd if=devzero of=homeneosomefile bs=1024 count=70
files created successfully. Again neo tried to create file having 70K using following command
dd if=devzero of=homeneosomefile bs=1024 count=70
But he is unable to create the file. Make the user can create the file less then 70K.
Answer and Explanation
Very Tricky question from redhat. Actually question is giving scenario to you to implement quota to
neo user. You should apply the quota to neo user on home that neo user shouldn’t occupied
space more than 70K.
1. vi etcfstab
LABEL=home home ext3 defaults,usrquota 0 0 à To enable the quota on filesystem you should
mount the filesystem with usrquota for user quota and grpquota for group quota.
2. touch homeaquota.user àCreating blank quota database file.
3. mount -o remount home à Remounting the home with updated mount options. You can verify
that home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.
4. quotacheck -u home à Initialization the quota on home
5. edquota -u neo home à Quota Policy editor
See the snapshot
Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500)
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
devmappervo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0
Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30.
Verify using the repquota home command.
