Please excuse me if it's posted in the wrong forum. I'll report elsewhere if necessary.

I'm going over the LFCS practice question and there are three questions in a row I don't quite understand http://puu.sh/FBRPK/1037c1d75a.png

  1. Pardon my ignorance but I don't quite understand what I have to do :( the last command can be run by anyone.
  2. Am I supposed to change the user's password without knowing it? I get the home directory thing.
  3. How can I practice on an imaginary broken 'devel' user that doesn't exist on my system. This actually seems like a good exercise but I don't understand how I can practice on it.

Thanks ahead!

    I'm sorry but this is indeed not the right place to ask about exam questions, even sample ones (in general) It's ok to ask about topics, but we did not write either the exams or the practice exams, and even if we can give some possibilities, we don't want to create an impression we really know the intent, and we don't want to give bad information or mislead.

    This is not an exam preparation course, although after taking this and LFS101x you should be able to pass if you also do diligent other preparation. We keep a firewall between training and certification.

    Please contact the certification people and see if they can give you some help.

    Thanks for the response.

    Regarding the sub-forum, I'll gladly re-post at the appropriate place if you'd redirect me.

    I know you didn't come up with the question, no one holds grudge and all suggestions are welcome, even if they weren't what the original question intended. Unfortunately the certification support don't answer any of my questions regarding practice exam.

    I learned so much going through the questions I don't want to miss out on it. It gives me great confidence succeeding in the offical practice exam for the actual one I intend on doing.

    There is no forum for exam-related questions or for sample exam questions. Sample exam questions are provided to give you an idea of what you can expect on the exam itself, but no support is provided should you have questions about the samples.

    Thanks for the response, I understand.

    So far I've managed to work with the questions in there. So if possible, I would really appreciate just an idea of what are the steps on solving questions of this type.

    Hi @rogersjoshmac ,

    I think you need to go through the course and practice. Do all the labs, and if you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to help (please open a new thread for each question if they are not much related).

    I think it's good to make questions in order to learn, not just to solve a test.

    Regards,
    Luis.
