    During installation, the first user account is assigned the root role.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During installation, the first user account is assigned the root role. This means that the first user account created during the installation process will have administrative privileges and full control over the system. The root role allows the user to perform tasks that are restricted to other user accounts, such as installing software, modifying system files, and managing user accounts. Having the root role assigned to the first user account ensures that the user has maximum control and authority over the system.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    What is "sudo" used for?

    • Any newly created roles will be user by default.

    • Provides a familiar method for executing commands with privilege

    • Authorized non-root users to complete tasks and scripts with superuser privileges

    • Authorized users to directly logging into a root user account.

    Correct Answer
    A. Provides a familiar method for executing commands with privilege
    Explanation
    "Sudo" is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows authorized non-root users to execute commands with superuser privileges. It provides a familiar and convenient method for users to perform administrative tasks without having to log in directly as the root user. This helps in maintaining security by limiting the access to privileged commands only to authorized users.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Fill in the blanks. ___________ is the only service that could be enabled by default. System is secured by default at install.

    • Gcm

    • Ike

    • Ksh

    • Ssh

    Correct Answer
    A. Ssh
    Explanation
    SSH (Secure Shell) is the only service that could be enabled by default. It is a secure network protocol that allows secure remote login and file transfers. By default, the system is secured at installation by enabling SSH, which provides encrypted communication and authentication between devices. This ensures that the system is protected from unauthorized access and potential security threats.

    Rate this question:

    In Oracle Solaris 11, which process enables customers to reuse the same physical network infrastructure for labeled communications by transferring labeled data within separate labeled IPsec security associations ?

    • Labeled IPsec

    • Labeled IPsec/IPE

    • Labeled IPsec/IKE

    • Labeled IPsec/TCP

    Correct Answer
    A. Labeled IPsec/IKE
    Explanation
    In Oracle Solaris 11, the process that enables customers to reuse the same physical network infrastructure for labeled communications by transferring labeled data within separate labeled IPsec security associations is Labeled IPsec/IKE. IKE stands for Internet Key Exchange, which is a protocol used to establish security associations (SA) and cryptographic keys between two parties. By using Labeled IPsec/IKE, customers can ensure that their labeled data is securely transmitted over the network while utilizing the existing physical infrastructure.

    • Implements the data integrity of AES Galois Counter Mode without encrypting the data.

    Correct Answer
    A. Implements the data integrity of AES Galois Counter Mode without encrypting the data.
    Explanation
    The Oracle Solaris 11 cryptographic algorithm is used to implement the data integrity of AES Galois Counter Mode without encrypting the data. This means that it ensures the integrity of the data by verifying that it has not been tampered with, without actually encrypting the data itself. This can be useful in situations where encryption is not necessary, but data integrity is still important.
