A NetBSD 9.3 server runs a legacy application that depends on a specific kernel module. The administrator needs to upgrade to NetBSD 10.0 but must ensure the kernel module is rebuilt for the new version. The administrator has the source code for the module. What should the administrator do?

Run 'pkg_add -u' to update packages, then reboot without rebuilding the module.

Upgrade the base system with 'sysupgrade auto', then copy the old module to the new system.

Run 'build.sh release' in /usr/src to build the entire system, then install the module.

Run 'sysupgrade auto' to upgrade the base system, then rebuild the kernel module from source against the new kernel.

An administrator is installing OpenBSD on a new firewall appliance. The administrator wants to use the default installer options and needs to ensure the system is secure by default. During the installation, the administrator is asked about the root account and SSH. What should the administrator do to follow OpenBSD's default security posture?

Enable SSH, allow root login via SSH, and disable password authentication.

Enable SSH and allow root login via SSH with a strong password.

Enable SSH, disable root login via SSH, and create a non-root user for remote access.

Disable SSH and use only the console for remote administration.

A NetBSD 9.2 server needs to be upgraded to NetBSD 10.0. The administrator wants to use the official binary upgrade tool. The server has internet access. What should the administrator do?

Run 'uname -r' to check the current release before upgrading.

Run 'sysupgrade auto' to download and install the new release.

Run 'pkg_add -u' to update all packages and then reboot.

Run 'build.sh release' in /usr/src and then install the resulting sets.
