Give the absolute path of the file that traditionally lists the DNS servers the local resolver library should query.

LPIC-1 Exam 102-500, objective 109. Networking fundamentals easy

Machine-checked — no person has signed for it. This question was read against the source cited below by an automated pass, which found no contradiction. That is a weaker claim than it sounds: the same kind of process wrote the question, so it can confirm its own mistake.

Treat it as a good draft rather than as settled fact, and read the source below before you rely on it. It is not used in mock exams here — only questions a person has signed for are.

How these questions are written — where each question comes from, what the verification ledger records, and what happens when one is found wrong.

Answer

Type the answer.

Accepted answer

Case sensitive — Linux is, and grading LS as ls would teach a falsehood.

Why

/etc/resolv.conf holds up to three `nameserver` lines plus optional `search`, `domain` and `options` directives. Note the spelling: resolv, without the trailing e. On many current distributions the file is a symlink managed by systemd-resolved or by NetworkManager and is rewritten automatically, in which case hand edits are lost and the real configuration lives in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf or in the connection profile.
