Beyond a few technical questions, most of my questions focus on soft
skills as I cannot teach those. I can teach and train a person in
technical skills if necessary.

I'd rather ask (and answer) open ended questions. Everyone always
asks "What is the TCP three way handshake", but my favorite
question is, "Why is it important to understand the three way
handshake?"
This is why I hate trivia questions as a gauge of skill.
"What flag to date(1) will spit out time in seconds since epoch?"
"What's the numerical file descriptor for standard error?" "What port
does DNS listen on?"
If someone gets a few of these wrong in a row, they start thinking
"Oh crap, I'm bombing this interview" and shut down. At that point
you're less and less likely to get anything useful out of them.
