E is false, only one cron daemon runs for all crontabs.
KA

Wait, is hourly really the same as '0 * * * *'? That seems off.

C is correct, the cron daemon does reload crontab files automatically!

I disagree with B, you don't need to restart the cron daemon to change crontab.
AN

A is definitely true, every user can have their own crontab.

I’m a bit confused about the timing syntax; I thought 'hourly' was different from '0 * * * *', but now I'm not so sure.

I practiced a similar question where I had to identify which statements about cron were true, and I think the cron daemon does reload crontab files automatically.

I remember something about the cron daemon not needing a restart when you change a crontab, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think every user can have their own crontab, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the cron daemon doesn't have to run for each existing crontab, so I'll mark that one as false. The other statements seem plausible, but I'll review them just to be sure.
AN

The hourly schedule is definitely not the same as '0 * * * *'. I remember that from the lecture. I'll make sure to mark that one as false.
JU

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the cron daemon reloading crontab files automatically. I'll have to double-check that one.
AL
Alecia

I'm pretty confident about this one. I know that every user can have their own crontab, and that changing a crontab requires a reload or restart of the cron daemon.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Automatically opting customers in doesn't seem like a best practice to me.

Models are definitely used to formalize security policies, so A seems like the right answer.

Wait, I'm confused. If Danner Bank is loaning money, wouldn't that make them an external user? Or is the fact that they have a direct financial interest the key factor here? I need to re-read the question and options carefully.

B and D are correct. I can never remember the hourly cron syntax, so I just use the asterisks.
