There are two different networks, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Your System is in 192.168.0.0/24 Network. One RHEL 4 Installed System is going to use as a Router. All required configuration is already done on Linux Server. Where 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.1.254 IP Address are assigned on that Server. How will make successfully ping to 192.168.1.0/24 Network’s Host?
Answer and Explanation:
1.vi /etc/sysconfig/network
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
OR
vi /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.0.?
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
2.service network restart
Some users home directory is shared from your system. Using showmount –e localhost command, the shared directory is not shown. Make access the shared users home directory.
Answer and Explanation:
1.Verify the File whether Shared or not ? : cat /etc/exports
2.Start the nfs service: service nfs start
3.Start the portmap service: service portmap start
4.Make automatically start the nfs service on next reboot: chkconfig nfs on
5.Make automatically start the portmap service on next reboot: chkconfig portmap on
6.Verify either sharing or not: showmount –e localhost
7.Check that default firewall is running on system ? if running flush the iptables using iptables –F and stop the iptables service.
Your System is configured in 192.168.0.0/24 Network and your nameserver is 192.168.0.254. Make successfully resolve to server1.example.com.
Answer and Explanation:
Very Easy question, nameserver is specified in question,
1.vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.254
2.host server1.example.com
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.
Create the directory /archive and group owner should be the sysuser group.
Answer and Explanation:
1.chgrp sysuser /archive
2.Verify using ls -ld /archive command. You should get like
drwxr-x--- 2 root sysadmin 4096 Mar 16 17:59 /archive
chgrp command is used to change the group ownership of particular files or directory.
Another way you can use the chown command.
chown root:sysuser /archive
Create the user named eric but eric should not belong to the sysadmin group.
Answer and Explanation:
1.useradd eric
Very tricky question given to you that this user should not belongs to sysadmin group.
One Domain RHCE is configured in your lab, your domain server is
server1.example.com. nisuser2001, nisuser2002, nisuser2003 user are created on your server 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/nisuser2001. Make sure that when NIS user login in your system automatically mount the home directory. Home directory is separately shared on server /rhome/stationx/ where x is your Station number.
Answer and Explanation:
1. use the authconfig or system-config-authentication
2. Select the [*] USE NIS
3. Type the NIS Domain: RHCE
4. Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok
5. You will get a ok message.
6. Create a Directory /rhome/stationx where x is your station number.
6. vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file
/rhome/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60
7. vi /etc/auto.home and write
* -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/&
Note: please specify your station number in the place of x.
8. Service autofs restart
9. Login as the nisuser2001 or nisuser2002 on another terminal will be
Success.
According to question, RHCE domain is already configured. We have to make a client of RHCE domain and automatically mount the home directory on your system. To make a member of domain, we use the authconfig or system-config-authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to configure the DNS, we should specify the NIS server address.
Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically mount. The automount service used the /etc/auto.master file. On /etc/auto.master file we specified the mount point the configuration file for mount point.
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 jackie, curtin, david
Answer and Explanation:
1.useradd jackie
2.useradd curtin
3. useradd david
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.
Install the Redhat Linux RHEL 4 through NFS. Where your Server is server1.example.com having IP 172.24.254.254 and shared /var/ftp/pub. The size of the partitions are listed below:
/1048
/home1028
/boot 512
/var 1028
/usr2048
Swap->1.5 of RAM Size
/documentconfigure the RAID Level 0 of remaining all free space.
After completing the installation through NFS solve the following questions. There are two networks 172.24.0.0/16 and 172.25.0.0/16. As well as there are two domains example.com on 172.24.0.0/16 network and cracker.org on 172.25.0.0/16 network. Your system is based on example.com domain.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Insert the CD on CD-ROM and start the system.
2. In Boot: Prompt type linux askmethod
3. It will display the language, keyboard selection.
4. It will ask you for the installation method.
5. Select the NFS Image from the list
6. It will ask the IP Address, Net mask, Gateway and Name Server. Select Use
Dynamic IP Configuration: because DHCP Server will be configured in your exam lab.
7. It will ask for the NFS Server Name and Redhat Enterprise Linux Directory.
Specify the NFS Server: 172.24.254.254
Directory: /var/ftp/pub
8. After Connecting to the NFS Server Installation start in GUI. Go up to the partition screen by selecting the different Options.
9. Create the partition According to the Question because Size and what-what partition should you create at installation time is specified in your question
10.Create the two RAID partitions having equal size of remaining all free space.
11.Click on RAID button
12.Type mount point /document
13.Select RAID Level 0
14.Click on ok
15. Then select the MBR Options, time zone and go upto package selections.
It is another Most Important Time of installation. Due to the time limit, you should care about the installation packages. At Exam time you these packages are enough.
X-Window System
GNOME Desktop
(these two packages are generally not required)
Administration Tools.
System Tools
Windows File Server
FTP Servers
Mail Servers
Web Servers
Network Servers
Editors
Text Based Internet
Server Configuration Tools
Printing Supports
When installation will complete, your system will reboot. Jump for another Question.
