CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 58

A systems administrator is configuring options on a newly installed Linux VM that will be deployed to the Pacific time zone. Which of the following sets of commands should the administrator execute to accurately configure the correct time settings?

Answer options

• A. cd /etc ln ג€"s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific localtime
• B. cd /usr/local ln ג€"s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific zoneinfo
• C. cd /etc/local ln ג€"s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific localtime
• D. cd /usr/share/local ln ג€"s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific localectl

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it correctly changes the directory to /etc and creates a symbolic link to the Pacific time zone file, which is required for setting the system time zone. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they either point to the wrong directories or do not create the necessary symbolic link in the correct location.
