Which command can be used to require a user to authenticate as an eDirectory user before allowing them to enter commands at the server console?
The correct answer is C. LOAD SCRSAVER.NLM. SCRSAVER.NLM is the NetWare screen saver module that locks the server console and requires authentication against an eDirectory user object before console access is restored.

Why each option
SCRSAVER.NLM is the NetWare screen saver module that locks the server console and requires authentication against an eDirectory user object before console access is restored.
LOCK CONSOLE secures the console prompt using a locally configured password rather than authenticating the user against an eDirectory object.
SECURE CONSOLE restricts NLM load paths to SYS:SYSTEM and prevents debugger keyboard access, but it does not prompt for or verify eDirectory credentials.
Loading SCRSAVER.NLM activates the NetWare screen saver, which includes an integrated console lock that prompts for eDirectory username and password before permitting any console input. This is the documented NetWare 6.x mechanism for binding physical console access to eDirectory identity verification.
LOAD CONSOLELOCK.NLM -EDIR is not a valid or documented NetWare NLM or command syntax and does not exist in the standard NetWare utility set.
