Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 9

Which of the following tasks can the command passwd accomplish? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Change a user's username.
• B. Change a user's password.
• C. Create a new user account.
• D. Create a new user group.
• E. Lock a user account.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E because the passwd command is specifically designed to change user passwords and can also lock user accounts. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they involve changing usernames or creating new accounts or groups, which are not tasks that passwd can perform.
