RedHat EX200 Exam Practice Questions (P. 5)

GPT-4o - Answer

For the simulation addressing user creation with non-interactive login, utilize the command: `useradd -u 601 -s /sbin/nologin user1` to establish the user with specified UID and shell settings. Then, setting the password can be effectively managed through: `echo "redhat" | passwd --stdin user1`. This streamlined approach ensures both requirements are met succinctly while adhering to security best practices by avoiding manual password entry, which can be observed in an echo environment.

GPT-4o - Answer

The first user comment offers a simple and direct method to both create the users (user2, user3) and assign them to the 'admin' group while also setting their passwords to 'redhat'. This approach is efficient and uses piping to set the password, minimizing the need for interactive input which aligns well with automated scripts or multiple user creations. This is a practical choice for system administrators looking to streamline user management tasks efficiently in a live production or a test environment during the RHCSA exam.
