    Name servers in the domain name service (DNS) contain a database of associated names and IP addresses. They are responsible for storing and managing the mapping between domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. When a user requests a website by its domain name, the name servers are queried to find the corresponding IP address for that domain name. This information is then used to establish a connection and retrieve the requested content from the server hosting that website.

    Which Unix mechanism enables programs to communicate with one another through the file system?

    • Named pipes 

    • Character devices

    • Block devices

    • Sockets

    Correct Answer
    A. Named pipes 
    Explanation
    Named pipes, also known as FIFOs (First In First Out), are a Unix mechanism that enables programs to communicate with each other through the file system. They provide a way for processes to send data between each other by reading and writing to a special type of file. Unlike regular pipes, named pipes have a persistent connection and can be accessed by multiple processes simultaneously. This makes them useful for inter-process communication, allowing different programs to exchange data and coordinate their actions.

    What is the network id of internet protocol (IP) address 131.10.230.120/24?

    • 0.0.0.120

    • 0.10.230.0

    • 131.10.230.0

    • 255.255.255.0

    Correct Answer
    A. 131.10.230.0
    Explanation
    The network id of an IP address is obtained by setting all the host bits to 0. In this case, the IP address is 131.10.230.120 with a subnet mask of /24, which means the first 24 bits are the network bits and the remaining 8 bits are the host bits. By setting the host bits to 0, we get the network id of 131.10.230.0.

    Which UNIX capability can execute numerous programs at the same time?

    • Multi-user

    • Mulitprocessing

    • Time sharing 

    • Multitasking

    Correct Answer
    A. Multitasking
    Explanation
    Multitasking is the correct answer because it refers to the capability of executing numerous programs simultaneously on a UNIX system. It allows the operating system to switch between tasks quickly, giving the illusion that multiple programs are running concurrently. This feature enhances the efficiency and productivity of the system by maximizing the utilization of system resources.

    • File system

    • VI editor

    • Kernel

    • Shell

    Correct Answer
    A. File system
    Explanation
    The file system in UNIX provides a logical way to organize, store, retrieve, manipulate, and manage data. It is responsible for managing the organization and storage of files and directories on the system. The file system allows users to create, delete, modify, and access files and directories, providing a structured and efficient way to handle data. It also handles file permissions, file metadata, and file access control, ensuring the security and integrity of the data. Overall, the file system plays a crucial role in managing data in UNIX systems.

    Normally, when you create a file with a text editor, the file is set up with?

    • Read and Write Permission for you and read-only permission for others

    • Write permission for you and read only permission for others

    • Read, write, and execute for you and read, write for others

    • Read and write permission for you and read, write for others

    Correct Answer
    A. Read and Write Permission for you and read-only permission for others
    Explanation
    When you create a file with a text editor, it is typically set up with read and write permission for you, the creator of the file. This means that you can both view and modify the contents of the file. However, others who do not have ownership of the file are usually given read-only permission. This means that they can only view the contents of the file but cannot make any changes to it. This setup ensures that you have full control over the file while others can only read its contents.
