A Linux system administrator needs to modify the system-wide configuration for network services on a server. According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), in which directory should the administrator primarily look for these configuration files?
/home
/etc
/var
/boot
The correct answer is /etc. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) specifies that the /etc directory is for host-specific, system-wide configuration files and directories. It should not contain any binaries. The /var directory is for variable data files, such as logs, spool files, and caches, which change during normal system operation. The /home directory is the default location for user-specific files and configurations, not system-wide ones. The /boot directory contains the static files required for the system's boot process, such as the kernel and bootloader files, not general service configurations.
