LPIC-3 Exam 303 (Security) — Question 15

In which path is the data, which can be altered by the sysctl command, accessible?

Answer options

• A. /dev/sys/
• B. /sys/
• C. /proc/sys/
• D. /sysctl/

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is /proc/sys/ because this is the virtual filesystem that holds kernel parameters which can be modified by the sysctl command. The other options do not contain the relevant data for sysctl modifications; /dev/sys/ and /sys/ are related to device and system information, while /sysctl/ is not a standard directory associated with kernel parameters.
