After adding a remote CIFS share to /etc/fstab, the share is mounted to the correct place in the file
system. There, all files belong to the user and group root and are not read- or writable to any other
users in the system. What should be done in order to permit a distinct local user access to the
mounted files?

• A. The option root squash = yes should be added to the share in the Samba servers smb.conf to allow full access by the client.
• B. The mount.cifs options uid, gid, file_mode and dir_mode should be used to specify the ownership and permissions of the mount.
• C. The user should be added to the local user group smbusers as mount.cifs by default restricts access to all CIFS mounts to members of this group in addition to the root account.
• D. The mount.cifs command must always be executed by the user who should use the mount afterwards. The user should be granted the required permission in /etc/sudoers.

Which option to mount.cifs specifies a file that contains the user name, password and domain that
should be used for authentication against the server during the mount? (Specify only the option
without any values or parameters)

Which command in the Samba suite provides a means of manipulating NT Quotas on Samba file

• C. smbclient -L FileSrv1
• D. smbmount -L FileSrv1

A Samba 4 server provides DNS information regarding an Active Directory Domain. All other DNS
information is provided by another DNS server. Which of the following solutions ensures that the
clients of the Samba server can look up all DNS records including those from the domain?

• A. The additional DNS server is configured in the file /etc/resolv.conf on the Samba server and the option dns forwarder = yes is set in smb.conf.
• B. The additional DNS server is configured in the option dns forwarder in smb.conf. All clients query the Samba server for any DNS information.
• C. Both the Samba server and the additional DNS server are configured on the clients. It is ensured that the Samba server is listed first in each client's resolv.conf.
• D. All clients are configured to send DNS queries to the additional DNS server only. The Samba servers smb.conf contains the option wins dns proxy = yes to provide all domain-related naming information via NetBIOS name service independently from DNS.
