CompTIA Updated XK0-005 Exam Questions and Answers by winston

The server’s firewall is preventing connections from being made, which is causing the connectivity issue. The output of iptables -L -n shows that the firewall is blocking all incoming traffic on port 22, which is the default port for SSH. The output of ssh -v user@104.21.75.76 shows that the connection is refused by the server. To resolve the issue, the administrator needs to allow port 22 on the firewall. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported by the outputs. The workstation has the correct IP settings, as shown by the output of ip addr show. The sshd service is enabled and running, as shown by the output of systemct1 status sshd. The server has the correct default gateway configuration, as shown by the output of ip route show. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 13: Managing Network Services, pages 406-407.

The commands that will list and remove the corresponding packages are dnf history and dnf history undo last. The dnf history command will display a list of all transactions performed by dnf, such as installing, updating, or removing packages. Each transaction has a unique ID, a date and time, an action, and a number of altered packages. The dnf history undo last command will undo the last transaction performed by dnf, meaning that it will reverse all package changes made by that transaction. For example, if the last transaction installed some packages, dnf history undo last will remove them.

The other options are not correct commands for listing and removing corresponding packages. The dnf list command will display a list of available packages in enabled repositories, but not the packages installed by dnf transactions. The dnf remove command will remove specified packages from the system, but not all packages from a specific transaction. The dnf info command will display detailed information about specified packages, but not about dnf transactions. The dnf upgrade command will upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions, but not undo any package changes. References: Handling package management history; dnf(8) - Linux manual page

 The command docker images prune -a will help to remove all dangling images and delete all the images that do not have an associated container. The docker command is a tool for managing Docker containers and images. The images subcommand operates on images. The prune option removes unused images. The -a option removes all images, not just dangling ones. A dangling image is an image that is not tagged and is not referenced by any container. This command will accomplish the task of cleaning up the unused images. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (docker push images -a or docker images rmi --all) or do not remove images (docker rmi -a images only removes images that match the name or ID of “images”). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 567.

The file /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains the configuration settings for the SSH daemon, which handles the secure remote login. To change the port number, the engineer should edit this file and modify the line that says Port 22 to Port 49000. The other files are not related to the SSH service. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 13: Managing Network Services, page 411.
