The file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup contains commands that are executed by XDM before displaying the login screen. This file can be used to set the background image, color, or run other programs on the X display. The other files are either not related to XDM or do not exist by default. References:

 The Sticky Keys feature in X is an accessibility option that allows users to press modifier keys (such as Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or the Windows key) one at a time, instead of holding them down simultaneously, to perform keyboard shortcuts. For example, to copy something, a user can press Ctrl, release it, and then press C, instead of pressing Ctrl+C together. This can be helpful for users who have difficulty pressing multiple keys at once, or who prefer not to do so. References:  https://www.howtogeek.com/739764/how-to-turn-off-sticky-keys-on-windows-10/

T The ssh command is used to connect to a remote host using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, which provides encrypted and authenticated communication. The ssh command has the following syntax:

ssh [options] [user@]hostname [command]

The options can modify the behavior of the ssh command, such as specifying the port number, the identity file, the cipher, the compression, and the timeout. The user@hostname specifies the username and the hostname of the remote host to connect to. The command is an optional argument that specifies the command to execute on the remote host.

To connect to the remote host example.com which has OpenSSH listening on TCP port 2222, two possible options are:

B. ssh -p 2222 example.com: This option uses the -p flag to specify the port number of the remote host. The -p flag is a shortcut for the Port option, which can also be used with the -o flag.

C. ssh -o Port=2222 example.com: This option uses the -o flag to specify a configuration option for the ssh command. The -o flag can be followed by any option that is valid in the ssh_config file, such as Port, IdentityFile, Cipher, Compression, and ConnectTimeout. The Port option sets the port number of the remote host.

The other options in the question are not correct for this task. The --port option is not a valid option for the ssh command. The GatewayPort option is used to specify whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local forwarded ports. The example.com:2222 syntax is not valid for the ssh command.

The correct configuration of a system’s time zone is important because it affects how the system displays and interprets the local time from the Unix timestamps. A Unix timestamp is a number that represents the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC)1. Unix timestamps are independent of time zones and are the same for all systems1. However, when a system needs to display or interpret the local time from a Unix timestamp, it needs to know the offset from UTC, which is determined by the time zone configuration23. If the time zone configuration is incorrect, the system may display or interpret the local time incorrectly, which can cause problems with scheduling tasks, logs, and other applications45.

For example, suppose a system has a Unix timestamp of 1638374400, which corresponds to December 1, 2021, 12:00:00 UTC6. If the system’s time zone is configured correctly as UTC, it will display the local time as December 1, 2021, 12:00:00. However, if the system’s time zone is configured incorrectly as EST (Eastern Standard Time), which is 5 hours behind UTC, it will display the local time as December 1, 2021, 07:00:00, which is 5 hours earlier than the actual local time6. This can lead to confusion and errors for the system and the user.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Because the conversion of Unix timestamps to local time relies on the time zone configuration.

The command lpq can be used to display the status of the printer’s queue on a Linux server. The lpq command is part of the cups-bsd package, which provides the Berkeley commands for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), the standard printing system for Linux. The lpq command shows the status of a specified printer or the default printer if none is specified. It also lists the jobs that are queued for printing, along with their job IDs, owners, sizes, and names12. For example, to display the status of the printer lp1, we can use the following command:

$ lpq -P lp1

lp1 is ready

Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size

active user1 123 test.txt 1024 bytes

1st user2 124 report.pdf 2048 bytes

The output shows that the printer lp1 is ready, and that there are two jobs in the queue, one of which is active and the other is waiting. The output also shows the owners, job IDs, file names, and sizes of the jobs. To display the status of all printers, we can use the -a option:

$ lpq -a

lp1 is ready

Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size

active user1 123 test.txt 1024 bytes

1st user2 124 report.pdf 2048 bytes

lp2 is ready

no entries

The output shows that there are two printers, lp1 and lp2, and that lp2 has no entries in the queue. To display more information about the jobs, such as the priority, submission time, and status, we can use the -l option:

$ lpq -l -P lp1

lp1 is ready

Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size

active user1 123 test.txt 1024 bytes

priority 50 Apr 27 10:00 processing since Apr 27 10:01

1st user2 124 report.pdf 2048 bytes

priority 50 Apr 27 10:05 waiting for lp1

The output shows that the jobs have the same priority, and that the first job is processing while the second job is waiting. The lpq command can be useful for troubleshooting printing problems, such as checking if the printer is ready, if there are any stuck or failed jobs, or if there are any conflicts or delays in the queue34. References: 1: lpq(1) - Linux manual page 2: How to Use the lp Command in Linux to Print Files From Terminal - Make Tech Easier 3: Linux sysadmin printing reference guide - PenguinTutor 4: How to manage print jobs on Linux - Network World

 To exclude all log messages of a given logging facility, you should use a logging priority of none. This means that no messages from that facility will be logged, regardless of their severity level. For example, if you want to exclude all messages from the local0 facility, you can use local0.none in your syslog configuration file. This will prevent any messages from local0 from being written to any log file or destination that matches that selector12. The logging priority of none is part of the LPI’s multi-level Linux professional certification program, and it is covered in the topic 106.1 System logging of the exam 102 objectives3. References: 1: logging - exclude syslog facility from all others - Server Fault 2: rsyslog.conf(5) - Linux manual page - man7.org 3: Exam 102 Objectives
