LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 36

Which of the following properties of a Linux system should be changed when a virtual machine is cloned? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The partitioning scheme
• B. The file system
• C. The D-Bus Machine ID
• D. The permissions of /root/
• E. The SSH host keys

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The D-Bus Machine ID (C) is unique to each installation and should be changed to avoid conflicts between clones. Additionally, SSH host keys (E) must be regenerated to ensure secure, unique connections for each instance, as using the same keys can compromise security. The partitioning scheme (A), file system (B), and permissions of /root/ (D) typically do not need modification when cloning.
