# 8

I got 8 out of 10.

Would like to know where I goofed.

Code:
1. ls
2. df
3. /etc
4. rm
5. ps
6. w
7. /etc/passwd
8. vi
9. grep
10. /sbin/

I figured that #10 was probably different. Under OpenBSD it is located at /usr/sbin so I went with /sbin.

Haven't found the other one, yet.

I got 9/10 and also answered w to (6) wrongly.

Why can ps show whether a user is connected?

ps can show user id of processes, so if a user is connected, you will see their user id (and what shell and processes they are running).

That'll teach me to take the "most" appropriate answer. I thought about selecting "all" but alas, I did not.

I dunno, gimme another beer.

Q6 was the 'trick question' if you ask me Smilie Most everyone would pick the utility they tend to use the most vice all of them.

Question
I was 9/10 also, tried again changing answer for # 10 and still had 9/10.

My sendmail doesn't exist in any of those directories.
