Do the following steps as:

1.vi/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

acl localnet { 192.168.0.0/24; };

options {

allow-query { localnet; };

};

2.service named restart | start

allow-query is a global option on/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf, specifies an address match list of hosts allowed to query this server. If this option is not set, any host can query the server.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

ServerNamewww.rhce.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/rhce

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

ServerAdminwebmaster@rhce.com

SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

2.cd /etc/httpd/conf

3.make testcert

4.Create the directory and index page on specified path. (Index page can download fromftp://server1.example.comat exam time)

Check the SELinux context of index page , should like this:

-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/index.html

If SELinux Context is mismatched, use the restorecon –R /var command

5.service httpd start|restart

6.chkconfig httpd on

Apache can provide encrypted communications using SSL (Secure Socket Layer). To make use of encrypted communication, a client must request to https protocol, which is uses port 443. For HTTPS protocol required the certificate file and key file.

Outside the LAN means my133t.org. All host on exam on example.com domain and outside domain means cracker.org.

To block the mail coming from cracker.org

1.vi /etc/mail/access

@my133t.orgREJECT

2.service sendmail start | restart

3.chkconfig sendmail on

Your local domain mean example.com domain. Lookup the example.com using

host example.com you will get the IP address 192.168.0.254.

2.mkdir /var/www/example

3.Download the index.html file from the ftp server specified in question

4.Rename thewww.html file to index.html

Check the SELinux context of index page , should like this:

-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/index.html

If SELinux Context is mismatched, use the restorecon –R /var command

/etc/mail/local-host-names file contains the aliases to hostname. Mail server program reads the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. To change the configuration on mail server, we should edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and should generate the sendmail.cf using m4 command.

By default sendmail server allows to connect to local host only. So we should edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file to allow connect to other hosts.

By default sendmail server will not forward mail. we should specify on /etc/mail/access to relay or to block mail coming from domain or network or individual email address.

By default dovecot service start only the imap protocol. To start pop protocol with dovecot, we should write in /etc/dovecot.conf file.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/hosts.deny

vsftpd:ALL EXCEPT .example.com

or

1.vi /etc/hosts.deny

vsftpd:ALL

2.vi /etc/hosts.allow

vsftpd:.example.com

We can secure the services using tcp_wrappers. There are main two files, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.

There will be three stage access checking

- Is access explicitly permitted? Means permitted from /etc/hosts.allow?

- Otherwise, Is access explicitly denied? Means denied from /etc/hosts.deny?

- Otherwise, by default permit access if neither condition matched.

To deny the services we can configure /etc/hosts.deny file using ALL and EXCEPT operation. Pattern of /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny file is:

Demon_list:client_list:options

In Client list can be either domain name or IP address.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/hosts.deny

sshd:ALL EXCEPT .example.com

or

1.vi /etc/hosts.deny

sshd:ALL

2.vi /etc/hosts.allow

sshd:.example.com

Do the following steps as:

1. Rename the file named.caching-nameserver.conf into named.conf file located into /var/named/chroot/etc

#mv /var/named/chroot/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

2. Check the permission and ownership as well as SELinux Context should be like as:

-rw-r----- root named system_u:object_r:named_conf_t /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

If selinux context is mismatch use the restorecon –R /var command

3.vi /etc/named.conf

zone “example.com” IN {

type master;

file “example.com.zone”;

};

/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf file is used to register the zone as well as specify the global option for DNS server. There are two types of zone, i. Master, which contains the original data. ii. Slave, backup of master. Here is the example of master zone configuration.

4.vi /var/named/chroot/var/named/example.com.zone

$TTL 345345

3.service named start

4.rndc reload

5.chkconfig named on

6. Check the permission as well as SELinux Context should like this:

-rw-r--r-- root named root:object_r:named_zone_t /var/named/chroot/var/named/example.com.zone

If selinux context is mismatch use the restorecon –R /var command

7.service named start

8.rndc reload

9.chkconfig named on

Zone file should create on /var/named/chroot/var/named. Default Directory Path is specified on /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf file.

$TTLTime To Live, How much seconds cache server stores the information about DNS. And Five Parameters specified Serial Number used by slave to synchronize with master server. Refresh and Retry Time used by slave server. NS is the Name (DNS) server where lookup the domain. A (Associated IP) for particular host.

DNS has mechanism to load balance the request from clients. You can verify using hostwww.example.com command. MX resource records are used to define mail handler or exchanger for the domain. MX record must pass the positive integer value. This integer value is used by remote Mail Transport Agent (MTA) to determine, which host has delivery priority for the zone. The Lowest integer value will get the priority.

Do the following steps as:

ftpftp.server1.example.com

Download thewww.html

Check the SELinux context of index page , should like this:

-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/index.html

If SELinux Context is mismatched, use the restorecon –R /var command

move the downloaded file into /var/www/html

Rename the file into index.html

Check using linkshttp://stationx.example.com

/var/www/html is the default directory for httpd service. Index.html is the default directory index. To set the default page without configuring virtualhost copy the file as a index.html in /var/www/html.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/mail/local-host-names

By default dovecot service start only the imap protocol. To start pop protocol with dovecot, we should write in /etc/dovecot.conf file.

Using /etc/aliases file we can map the user name to send mail of one user to another user. To rebuild database we use the newaliases command.
