The most likely cause of the issue is that two default routes are configured on the server. The default route is the route that is used when no other route matches the destination of a packet. The default route is usually the gateway that connects the local network to the Internet. The server configuration shows that there are two default routes in the routing table, one with the gateway 192.168.1.1 and the other with the gateway 10.0.0.1. This can cause a conflict and confusion for the server when deciding which gateway to use for the outgoing packets. Some packets may be sent to the wrong gateway and fail to reach the Internet, while some packets may be sent to the correct gateway and work as intended. This can result in intermittent connection issues and inconsistent behavior. The administrator should remove one of the default routes and keep only the correct one for the network. This can be done by using the ip route del command or by editing the network configuration files. This will resolve the issue and restore the connectivity. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported by the outputs. The DNS server, the IP netmask, and the ARP table are not the causes of the issue.

The correct command to block the IP address 192.168.10.50 from accessing a Linux server is iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.10.50 -j DROP. This command appends a rule to the INPUT chain that matches the source address 192.168.10.50 and jumps to the DROP target, which discards the packet. The other commands are incorrect because they either have invalid syntax, wrong parameters, or wrong order of arguments. Reference: CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, page 457-458. 

The users who have root-level command-line access are those who have either the same user ID (UID) as root, which is 0, or the ability to run commands as root using sudo. Based on the /etc/passwd and /etc/sudoers files, the users who meet these criteria are:Carl: Carl has the same UID as root, which is 0, as shown in the /etc/passwd file. This means that Carl can log in as root and execute any command with root privileges1Mallory: Mallory has the ability to run commands as root using sudo, as shown in the /etc/sudoers file. The line ALL = (ALL) ALL means that any user can run any command as any other user, including root, by using sudo.Mallory can also use the root shell /bin/bash as her login shell, as shown in the /etc/passwd file2Therefore, the correct answer is A and C. Lee, Eve, Bob, and Alice do not have root-level command-line access because they have different UIDs from root and they cannot use sudo to run commands as root. Lee can only use sudo to run the commands listed in the Cmnd_Alias SHELLS, which are /bin/tcsh, /bin/sh, and /bin/bash. Eve cannot log in at all because her login shell is /bin/nologin. Bob and Alice can only use sudo to run the command /usr/sbin/tcpdump without a password, as specified by the Cmnd_Alias SYSADMIN and the line ALL = NOPASSWD: SYSADMIN2

This command will use the iptables tool to append a rule to the POSTROUTING chain of the nat table, which will match any packet with a source address of 172.17.0.0/16 and an output interface of eth0, and apply the MASQUERADE target to it.This means that the packet will have its source address changed to the address of the eth0 interface, effectively hiding the internal network behind a NAT12.

The output shows that the user1 account has a locked password, indicated by the exclamation point (!) in the second field of the /etc/shadow file1.To unlock the password and allow the user to log in, the systems administrator should use the passwd command with the -u (unlock) option2.

This command will use the chsh tool to change the login shell of the users www-data and db to /bin/false, which means they will not be able to log in to the system1. This will prevent unauthorized access attempts and improve security.

"modify the /etc/fstab text file to automatically mount the new partition by opening it in an editor and adding the following line:/dev/ xxx 1 /data ext4 defaults 1 2 where xxx is the device name of the storage device"https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-linux-system/9781119794455/b01.xhtmlTo configure a new filesystem that needs the capability to be mounted persistently across reboots, two commands are needed: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 and echo "/dev/sdc1 /data ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab. The first command creates an ext4 filesystem on the device /dev/sdc1, which is the partition that will be used for the new filesystem. The second command appends a line to the /etc/fstab file, which is the configuration file that controls persistent mount points of filesystems. The line specifies the device name, the mount point (/data), the filesystem type (ext4), the mount options (defaults), and the dump and pass values (0 0). The other commands are incorrect because they either do not create or configure a filesystem, or they have wrong syntax or arguments.Reference: CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, page 409-410, 414-415.

To troubleshoot a storage capacity issue on a server without a specific mount point or directory, two commands that would be most helpful are df and du. The df command displays information about disk space usage on all mounted filesystems, including their size, used space, available space, and percentage of usage. The du command displays disk space usage by files and directories in a given path, which can help identify large files or directories that may be taking up too much space. The other commands are incorrect because they either do not show disk space usage, or they are used for other purposes such as partitioning, formatting, checking, mounting, copying, or listing files.Reference: CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, page 417-419.

The RPM option -e should be used to remove software from the server. The rpm command is a tool for managing software packages on RPM-based Linux distributions. The -e option stands for erase and removes the specified package from the system. This is the correct option to use to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (-s or -d) or do not remove software (-q stands for query and displays information about the package). Reference: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 16: Managing Software, page 489. 

The command fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1 can be used to address the issue. The issue is caused by a corrupted filesystem on the /dev/sda1 partition. The error message shows that the filesystem type is ext4 and the superblock is invalid. The command fsck.ext4 is a tool for checking and repairing ext4 filesystems. The command will scan the partition for errors and attempt to fix them. This command can resolve the issue and allow the system to start.The other options are incorrect because they either do not fix the filesystem (partprobe or fdisk) or destroy the data on the partition (mkfs.ext4).
