CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI (LX0-104) — Question 34

What entry can be added to the syslog.conf file to have all syslog messages generated by a system displayed on console 12?

Answer options

• A. *.* /dev/tty12
• B. /var/log/messages | /dev/tty12
• C. | /dev/tty12
• D. syslog tty12
• E. mail.* /dev/tty12

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it uses the proper syntax to redirect all syslog messages to console 12. Option B is incorrect as it attempts to pipe the log file instead of using the syslog configuration format. Options C and D do not conform to the required syntax for syslog configuration, and option E restricts the output to only mail-related messages.
