Pass the RedHat RHCE RH302 Questions and answers with CertsForce

When user creates the file/directory, user owner will be user itself and group owner will be the primary group of the user.

There is one Special Permission SGID , when you set the SGID bit on directory,When users creates the file/directory automatically owner group will be same as a parent.

chmod g+s /data

Verify using: ls -ld /data

You will get: drwxrws---

Do the following steps as:

rpm -ivh ftp://server1.example.com/pub/kernel-hugemem-*

2. vi /etc/grub.conf

Set the default to new kernel

default=0

Example of /etc/grub.conf

default=0

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

hiddenmenu

rpm command is used to install, update and remove the rpm package. -ivh option is install, verbose, and display the hash mark.

Do the following steps as:

1. use the authconfig --nisserver= --nisdomain= --update

Example: # authconfig --nisserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=RHCE --update

or system-config-authentication

2. Click on Enable 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,intr192.168.0.254:/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 with option or system-config-authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is aRPC 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.

Do the following steps as:

cat >schedule

*/2 * * * * /bin/echo “Hello World” >/dev/tty8

crontab schedule

Verify using: crontab –l

service crond restart

Cron helps to schedule on recurring events. Pattern of Cron is:

MinuteHourDay of MonthMonthDay of WeekCommands

0-590-231-311-120-7 where 0 and 7 means Sunday.

Note * means every. To execute the command on every two minutes */2.

To add the scheduled file on cron job: crontab filename

To List the Cron Shedule: crontab –l

To Edit the Schedule: crontab –e

To Remove the Schedule: crontab –r

Do the following steps as:

1.chmod 770 /storage

2.Verify using : ls –ld /storage

Preview should be like:

drwxrwx--- 2 root sysusers 4096 Mar 16 18:08 /storage

To change the permission on directory we use the chmod command. According to the question that only the owner user (root) and group member (sysusers) can fully access the directory so: chmod 770 /archive

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

According to question, log server is already configured. We have to configure the mail, web and dns server for log redirection.

In mail, web and dns server:

1.vi /etc/syslog.conf

mail.*@logserveraddress

2.service syslog restart

mail is the facility and * means the priority. It sends logs of mail services into log server.

We can change the permission of file/directory either character symbol method or numeric method.

Permission:

r-Read

w-Write

x-Execute

Permission Category

u- Owner User

g- Owner Group

o- Others

Operators

+Add the Permissions

-Remove the Permissions

=Assigns the Permissions

Numeric Method:

4Read

2Write

1Execute

Total: 7, total for owner user, owner group member and for others : 777

chmod u+rwx /data

chmod g+rwx /data

chmod o-rwx /data

or

chmod 770 /data

Verify the /data : ls –ld /data

You will get drwxrwx---

When root unable to login into the system think:

1. Is password correct?

2. Is account expired?

3. Is terminal Blocked?

Do these Steps:

Boot the System on Single user mode.

Change the password

Check the account expire date by using chage –l root command.

If account is expired, set net expire date: chage –E “NEVER” root

Check the file /etc/securettyWhich file blocked to root login from certain terminal.

If terminal is deleted or commented write new or uncomment.

Reboot the system and login as a root.

Do the following steps as:

Use fdisk /dev/hdaTo create new partition.

Type nFor New partitions

It will ask for Logical or Primary Partitions. Press l for logical.

It will ask for the Starting Cylinder: Use the Default by pressing Enter Key.

Type the Size: +100MYou can Specify either Last cylinder of Size here.

Press P to verify the partitions lists and remember the partitions name.

Press w to write on partitions table.

Either Reboot or use partprobe command.

Use mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hda?

Or

mke2fs –j /dev/hda? To create ext3 filesystem.

vi /etc/fstab

Write:

/dev/hda?/dataext3defaults0 0

Verify by mounting on current Sessions also:

mount /dev/hda? /data
