1. When configuring services, what Linux directory typically contains server configuration files?
/etc/

It’s a web server app and a setting the could enhance the security is “timeout”.
5. What are symbolic links?
A specific file type that contains a link to other files or directories in the form of a relative or
absolute path. They even affect the resolution of a pathname.
7. Why would you add the skip-networking command in MariaDB?
The reason we would add the command “skip-networking” in MariaDB is to prevent remote
connections, as well as attacks, to the database, but still allowing localhost connections through
the MariaDB.sock socket.
