    4. Reconfigure the BIOS and boot from the FreeBSD installation CD

    A2: The correct answer is B.
    3:What's /etc/defaults/rc.conf for?

    1. It's your main configuration file; edit it to make changes to the system configuration

    2. Nothing; you can safely delete it

    3. It stores the default configuration options for all third-party applications that you install

    4. It defines default variables for /etc/rc; override it with /etc/rc.conf

    A3: The correct answer is D.
    4:Where do I find the automated startup scripts for third-party applications I install?

    1. /usr/local/etc/rc.d

    2. /usr/etc/rc.d

    3. /etc/rc.d

    4. /rc.d

    5:How do I allow the system to accept Telnet connections?

    1. Run the /usr/libexec/telnetd program from the command line

    3. Uncomment the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf

    4. Uncomment the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf and restart the inetd process with kill -HUP

    A5: The correct answer is D. Remember, your changed configuration doesn't take effect until you restart the daemon and force it to reread the config file.
    6:If I set a certain facility in syslogd to my username, what happens when that facility is triggered?

    1. Messages from that facility will be emailed to you.

    2. Messages from that facility will be printed to any console where you are logged in.
