The correct configuration line for sending all messages from the auth facility to a remote syslog server is auth.* @logger.example.org. In syslog configuration, the auth.* specifies the facility and priority, where auth is the facility for security/authorization messages, and * represents all priorities. The @ symbol is used to indicate that the messages are to be sent to a remote server, followed by the hostname of the remote syslog server. References:

A /24 IPv4 prefix provides 256 IP addresses, which is the number of addresses in one octet (2^8). A /28 subnet has 16 IP addresses (2^4). To calculate how many /28 subnets can fit into a /24 prefix, divide the total number of addresses in the /24 prefix by the number of addresses in a /28 subnet: 256 / 16 = 16. However, since each subnet has network and broadcast addresses that cannot be used for hosts, the actual number of usable subnets is less. In practice, you can create 16 subnets, each with 14 usable IP addresses for hosts.

The /etc/newsyslog.conf file is the configuration file for the newsyslog command, which is used to rotate log files on BSD systems. The newsyslog command is typically run by cron at regular intervals to check if any log files need to be rotated based on the criteria specified in the /etc/newsyslog.conf file. The file contains a series of entries, one per line, that define the log file name, the owner and group, the mode, the count, the size, the when, the flags, and the pidfile for each log file. For example, the following entry in the /etc/newsyslog.conf file:

/var/log/messages root:wheel 644 7 * @T00 Z /var/run/syslog.pid

means that the /var/log/messages file is owned by root and belongs to the wheel group, has the mode 644, is rotated 7 times, has no size limit, is rotated at midnight every day, is compressed after rotation, and the process ID of syslogd is read from /var/run/syslog.pid and sent a signal to reopen the log file.

The other options are either invalid files or belong to other purposes. For example, /etc/logs.conf is not a valid file, /etc/rc.logd is a startup script for the log daemon, /etc/rc.d/syslogd is a startup script for the syslog daemon, and /etc/syslog.conf is the configuration file for the syslog daemon.

The command that generates the output showing kernel module IDs, reference counts, addresses, sizes, and names iskldstatin FreeBSD. This command is used to display thestatus of loaded kernel modules, including those loaded dynamically. The output format shown in the question is characteristic ofkldstat, where it lists the kernel modules currently loaded into the system's memory along with their respective details.

The /etc/printcap file on a BSD system defines the printers that are available by the Ipr printing system. The Ipr printing system is a BSD-compatible printing system that uses the lpd daemon to manage print jobs and spooling. The /etc/printcap file contains a series of entries, one for each printer, that specify the printer name, device, options, and filters. The format and syntax of the /etc/printcap file are described in the printcap(5) manual page. References:

The command grep "non [-] disclosure" legalfile matches the lines in the file that contain the pattern non [-] disclosure, where the brackets indicate a character class that matches either a space or a dash. Therefore, the lines that contain non-disclosure or non - disclosure are matched by the command, while the line that contains disclosure only is not matched. The file has two lines that contain non-disclosure, so the correct answer is E. non-disclosure and non-disclosure Only. References:

The cron job syntax consists of five fields that specify the time and date of execution, followed by the command or script to run. The fields are: minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. Each field can have a specific value, a range, a list, a wildcard (), or a step value. The wildcard () means any possible value for that field. The option B sets the minute field to 0 and the hour field to *, which means the script will run at the 0th minute of every hour, regardless of the day, month, or weekday. This is equivalent to once per hour. The other options are either invalid syntax or do not match the desired frequency. For example, option A sets all fields to *, which means the script will run every minute of every hour of every day, month, and weekday. Option C sets the minute field to * and the hour field to 0, which means the script will run every minute of the 0th hour, or once per day at midnight. Option D has a typo (o instead of *) and option E sets the day of month field to o, which is not a valid value. References:

The file /etc/hostname.em0 contains the configuration for the network interface em0 on an OpenBSD system. This file specifies the IP address, netmask, gateway, and other options for the interface. The file is read by the netstart script during boot or when the interface is restarted. The file name is derived from the interface name, which is usually based on the driver name and the device number. For example, em0 is the first interface using the em driver, which supports Intel PRO/1000 network adapters.

The command pkg upgrade is used to update FreeBSD packages to newer versions. It compares the versions of installed packages with those in the repositories and performs upgrades as necessary. The pkg update command is used to update the repository catalog, but it does not perform the actual package upgrades1.
