Question 510
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A newly installed SSH daemon is running but does not start after a host reboot. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A newly installed SSH daemon is running but does not start after a host reboot. Underlying reason: Starting a service now does not necessarily make its activation persistent. The most direct, approved resolution is: Enable the `sshd` unit with `systemctl enable --now` and verify its boot behavior. Confirm it by checking: `systemctl is-enabled` reports enabled and SSH returns after reboot. Sustain the fix by: Check both active and enabled states during deployment. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
The destination checksum matches and the transfer uses an authenticated encrypted connection. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because starting a service now does not necessarily make its activation persistent.
The system restarts within the window and required service checks pass. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because starting a service now does not necessarily make its activation persistent.
A narrow timeline identifies the relevant service error sequence. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because starting a service now does not necessarily make its activation persistent.
