According to IBM.
Answer BCD
I am sure that the answer is incorrect. Because
/etc/passwd
JackJ:x:1601:1601:This is a Jack:/home/JackJ:/bin/bash
has information about:
1. The numeric ID – 1601 (B)
2. The username – JackJ (C)
3. The users default shell – /bin/bash (E)
The right answer is BCE
Hi Rustam,
I was not able to find that the ‘/bin/bash’ at the end indicates the users default shell, but what I did find is that the ‘x’ after your name indicates that your password is saved in the shadow file.
Therefor I think that both D and E are partially correct/false
