Haha, I bet the exam writers were just trying to trip us up with those weird log file names. Good thing I know my NetBackup security logs!

B) secure.log and auth.log? Really? That's just confusing. Why not use the standard terminology?

D) secure.log and audit.log makes the most sense to me. "Secure" log for security-specific events.

I remember secure.log being a part of the logs, but I can't remember if it was with audit.log or not. This is tricky!

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was security.log and auth.log, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this. I think the security logs might be called "secure.log" but I'm not 100% certain. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.
