1. Which of the following are accurate descriptions of the Mars package?
Please select the best answer.
  A. Mars enables SMB clients to share files and printers.
  B. Mars enables Linux users to share files.
  C. Mars enables NetWare clients to share memory.
  D. Mars enables NetWare clients to share files and printers.
  E. Mars enables Samba to work.
 
The correct answer is D.
Mars enables NetWare clients to share files and printers.
A and E are incorrect because Mars has nothing to do with Samba or SMB clients. B is incorrect because NFS enables Linux to share files. C is incorrect because Mars doesn't allow NetWare clients to share memory, only files and printers.

2. Which Samba security setting would you use if you already had an NT password server in your domain?
Please select the best answer.
  A. None necessary; the default is okay.
  B. security = user
  C. security = share
  D. security = domain
  E. security = server
  The correct answer is D. You would use security = domain because you want Samba to use your NT domain's password server.
A and B are incorrect because security = user is the default, and this setting doesn't contact a password server. C is incorrect because security = share doesn't contact a password server. E is incorrect because, although security = server contacts a password server, it only checks the workgroup, not the domain.

3. Which file holds Mars' configuration?
Please select the best answer.
  A. /etc/mars/netware.conf
  B. /etc/netware.conf
  C. /etc/smb.conf
  D. /etc/nwserv.conf
 

The correct answer is D.

The /etc/nwserv.conf file holds Mars' configuration.
A and B are incorrect because there aren't any such files under Linux. C is incorrect because /etc/smb.conf is Samba's configuration file.
