B is just wrong, that’s not how you specify a DNS server.

Wait, can you really include files like that? Sounds weird.

I thought A was valid too, but I guess not?

D is also valid, it’s used for modular configuration.

C is definitely valid, it’s a common setup.

I have a vague memory of option B being related to DNS settings, but I can't recall if it's formatted correctly for nsswitch.conf.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I think option A is definitely not correct. Multi isn't a valid entry for that file.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option D might be valid too, since it references including additional configuration files.

I think option C sounds familiar, like something we covered in class about how to configure name resolution.

I'm not totally sure, but I think the key here is that TSR is looking at the total return to shareholders, not just the increase in earnings or market cap. So I'm leaning towards D as the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know internal controls are important, but I'm not totally sure which one is specifically designed to prevent errors and fraud. I might have to think this through a bit more.

I'm not totally sure about this one. The question is a bit ambiguous. I'll have to weigh the options and make my best guess.

I bet option A was written by the same person who thought 'rm -rf /' was a good idea. Definitely going with C, it's the tried and true answer here.

I think C is the most common setup for /etc/nsswitch.conf. It's a solid choice.
JE

Yeah, C is the standard configuration for hosts. It's a reliable option.
JU

I agree, option A seems risky. C is definitely the safer choice.

Haha, 'multi on' in option A? Sounds like someone's trying to turn their computer into a disco ball. I'm going with C, it's the classic choice for nsswitch.conf.

Option B looks interesting, '192.168.168.4 dns-server', but I'm not sure if that's a valid statement in the nsswitch.conf file. Might be more of a DNS server configuration thing.

Yes, 'hosts: files dns' is a valid statement in the nsswitch.conf file for specifying the order of host resolution.
CA

I think the valid statement in the nsswitch.conf file is 'hosts: files dns'.
ED

Option B is not a valid statement in the nsswitch.conf file. It seems more like a DNS server configuration.

Hmm, I was thinking option D, 'include /etc/nsswitch.d/', since that seems like it would let you include additional configuration files. But I'm probably overthinking this.
BR
Bronwyn

I'm pretty sure it's option C. The /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies the order in which different sources are checked for various types of information, and 'hosts: files dns' is the standard configuration for resolving hostnames.

That's good to know, thanks for clarifying!

Yes, 'hosts: files dns' specifies the order for hostname resolution.

I think you're right, option C is the correct statement in the file /etc/nsswitch.conf.

I'm not sure, but I think D) include /etc/nsswitch.d/ could also be valid as it includes additional configuration files.

I agree with Dawne, because it specifies the order in which the system will look for host information.
DA

I think the valid statement is C) hosts: files dns.
