CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

During a security investigation you must immediately disable password authentication for the local account "bob". Company policy forbids changing the user's login shell or expiration date, and the passwd utility is blocked, so you must use the usermod command. The solution must keep bob's current password hash so the account can be unlocked later and must only prevent password-based logins (bob's running processes and key-based access must continue to work). Which command satisfies these requirements?

  • chage -E 0 bob

  • usermod -l bob

  • usermod -L bob

  • usermod -s /usr/sbin/nologin bob
