Create the user named eric and deny to interactive login.

Answer and Explanation:

useradd eric

passwd eric

vi /etc/passwd

eric:x:505:505::/home/eric:/sbin/nologin

Which shell or program should start at login time is specified in /etc/passwd file. By default Redhat Enterprise Linux assigns the /bin/bash shell to the users. To deny the interactive login, you should write /sbin/nologin or /bin/false instead of login shell.

You are working as a System Administrator at Certpaper. Your Linux Server crashed and you lost every data. But you had taken the full backup of user’s home directory and other System Files on /dev/st0, how will you restore from that device?

Answer and Explanation:

1. Go to on that directory where you want to restore.

2. restore –rf /dev/st0

To restore from backup we use the restore command. Here backup will restore from /dev/st0 on current Directory.

Create the user named jane and john.

Answer and Explanation:

1.useradd jane

2.useradd john

useradd command is used to create the user. All user’s information stores in /etc/passwd and user;s shadow password stores in /etc/shadow.

Raw (Model) printer named printer1 is installed and shared on 192.168.0.254. You should install the shared printer on your PC to connect shared printer using IPP Protocols.

Answer and Explanation:

IPP( Internet Printing Protocol), allows administrator to manage printer through browser so CUPS is called Internet Printing Protocol based on HTTP. We can Install the printer either through: system-confing-printer tool or through Browser.

1.Open the browser and Type on address: http://localhost:631  CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) used the IPP protocol. CUPS use the 631 port.

2.Click on Manage Printer.

3.Click on Add Printer.

4.Type Printer name, Location, Description.

5.Select Device for bb. (Select IPP).

6.Device URL: ipp://192.168.0.254/ipp/ queue name  Same printer name of shared printer.

7.Select Model/Driver RAW printer.

8.service cups restart

Deny to all users except root to run cron schedule.

Answer and Explanation:

1.vi /etc/cron.allow

root

or

vi /etc/cron.deny

Write all user name to deny.

/etc/cron.allow, /etc/cron.deny file is used to control users to allow or deny. If /etc/cron.allow file is created only that users are allowed to run cron schedule. Another way to deny to users is /etc/cron.deny write all user name on single line.

Make sure on /data that only the owner user can remove files/directories.

Answer and Explanation:

By default user1 can remove user2’s files due to directory permission to group member. We can prevent of deleting files from others users using Sticky Bits.

chmod o+t /data

Verify /data: ls -ld /data

You will get: drwxrwx—T

Install the dialog-*

Answer and Explanation:

Questions asking you to install the dialog package from the server. In your Lab FTP server as well as NFS server are configured. You can install either through FTP or NFS.

1.Just Login to server1.example.com through FTP: ftp server1.example.com

2.Enter to pub directory: cd pub

3.Enter to RedHat/RPMS: cd RedHat/RPMS

4.Download the Package: mget dialog-*

5.Logout from the FTP server: bye

6.Install the package: rpm -ivh dialog-*

7.Verify the package either installed or not: rpm -q dialog

Quota is implemented on /data but not working properly. Find out the

Problem and implement the quota to user1 to have a soft limit 60 inodes

(files) and hard limit of 70 inodes (files).

Answer and Explanation:

Quotas are used to limit a user's or a group of users' ability to consume disk space. This prevents a small group of users from monopolizing disk capacity and potentially interfering with other users or the entire system. Disk quotas are commonly used by ISPs, by Web hosting companies, on FTP sites, and on corporate file servers to ensure continued availability of their systems.

Without quotas, one or more users can upload files on an FTP server to the point of filling a filesystem. Once the affected partition is full, other users are effectively denied upload access to the disk. This is also a reason to mount different filesystem directories on different partitions. For example, if you only had partitions for your root (/) directory and swap space, someone uploading to your computer could fill up all of the space in your root directory (/). Without at least a little free space in the root directory (/), your system could become unstable or even crash.

You have two ways to set quotas for users. You can limit users by inodes or by kilobyte-sized disk blocks. Every Linux file requires an inode. Therefore, you can limit users by the number of files or by absolute space. You can set up different quotas for different filesystems. For example, you can set different quotas for users on the /home and /tmp directories if they are mounted on their own partitions.

Limits on disk blocks restrict the amount of disk space available to a user on your system. Older versions of Red Hat Linux included LinuxConf, which included a graphical tool to configure quotas. As of this writing, Red Hat no longer has a graphical quota configuration tool. Today, you can configure quotas on RHEL only through the command line interface.

1. vi /etc/fstab

/dev/hda11/data ext3defaults,usrquota 1 2

2. Either Reboot the System or remount the partition.

Mount –o remount /dev/hda11 /data

3. touch /data/aquota.user

4. quotacheck –ufm /data

5. quotaon -u /data

6. edquota –u user1 /data

and Specified the Soft limit and hard limit on opened file.

To verify either quota is working or not:

Soft limit specify the limit to generate warnings to users and hard limit can’t cross by the user. Use the quota command or repquota command to monitor the quota information.

One Logical Volume named lv1 is created under vg0. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 100MB. Now you required the size 500MB. Make successfully the size of that Logical Volume 500M without losing any data. As well as size should be increased online.

Answer and Explanation:

The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal-sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic definitions:

Physical Volume (PV)is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a RAID array.

Physical Extent (PE)is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups can have different sized PEs.

Logical Extent (LE)is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.

Logical Volume (LV)is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a filesystem such as /home and /var on an LV.

Volume Group (VG)is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.

1. Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1

2. Verify the Size on mounted directory: df –h or df –h mounted directory name

3. Use : lvextend –L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1

4. ext2online –d /dev/vg0/lv1  to bring extended size online.

5. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df –h command.
