An administrator is removing a system account 'oldservice' that was used by a legacy daemon. The daemon has been decommissioned. The administrator runs 'userdel oldservice' and it succeeds. However, the administrator later discovers that a cron job for the old service is still running. What is the most likely reason?

The cron daemon is caching the old user's crontab.

The userdel command failed silently.

The userdel command did not remove the crontab entry.

The cron job is owned by a different user.

An administrator needs to add user 'frank' to the 'sudo' group. The administrator runs 'usermod -aG sudo frank' and verifies with 'id frank'. The output shows 'uid=1001(frank) gid=1001(frank) groups=1001(frank),27(sudo)'. However, Frank reports that he still cannot use sudo. What is the most likely reason?

Frank has not logged out and back in.

The sudo group is not in the sudoers file.

Frank's primary group is not sudo.
