There are two different networks 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Where 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.1.254 IP Address are assigned on Server. Verify your network settings by pinging 192.168.1.0/24 Network’s Host.

Answer and Explanation: At exam time read the Lab Scenario carefully. Actually there are two different networks one is 192.168.0.0/24 where your system resides know as example.com domain and another is 192.168.1.0/24 know as cracker.org domain.

One server named sever1.example.com having 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.1.254 is running in your exam. If you make a gateway to that server, you will can ping because IP forwarding is enabled on that server.

1.vi /etc/sysconfing/network

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=station?.example.com

GATEWAY=192.168.0.254

2.service network restart

Or

1.vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=X.X.X.X

NETMASK=X.X.X.X

GATEWAY=192.168.0.254

2.ifdown eth0

3.ifup eth0

Note: If gateway is specified in both file, default gateway takes from interface specific file.

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.

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

Whoever creates the file on /data make automatically owner group should be the group owner of /data directory.

Answer and Explanation:

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---

Who ever creates the files/directories on /archive group owner should be automatically should be the same group owner of /archive.

Answer and Explanation:

1.chmod g+s /archive

2.Verify using: ls -ld /archive

Permission should be like:

drwxrws--- 2 root sysuser 4096 Mar 16 18:08 /archive

If SGID bit is set on directory then who every users creates the files on directory group owner automatically the owner of parent directory.

To set the SGID bit: chmod g+s directory

To Remove the SGID bit: chmod g-s directory

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 a RAID Device /dev/md0 by creating equal two disks from available free space on your harddisk and mount it on /data.

Answer and Explanation:

Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 Supports the RAID LEVEL 0, RAID LEVEL 1, RAID LEVEL 5 and RAID LEVEL 6 at installation time. You can create it at installation time later no need to type lots of commands for RAID.

At Installation Time:

• Create the partitions using diskdruid.
• Create the Partitions having File system Type Software RAID.
• Click on RAID button
• Type the Mount Point
• Select File system type
• Select RAID Level
• Select Partitions/disks as a member of RAID.
• Click on ok

After Installation: We can create the RAID Device after Installation on command-line.

• Create the Two partitions having equal size. (Specify the Size using Cylinder, find the remaining cylinder and divide by 2).
• Change the Partition ID to fd (Linux raid Autodetect) by typing t.
• Type wTo write on partitions table.
• Use partprobe command to synchronic the partition table.
• Use: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda? /dev/hda?
• Verify the RAID: mdadm --detail /dev/md0
• mkfs -t ext3 /dev/md0
• mount /dev/md0 /data
• vi /etc/fstab

/dev/md0/dataext3defaults0 0

• Verify mounting devices using mount command.

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

There are three Disk Partitions /dev/hda8, /dev/hda9, /dev/hda10 having size 100MB of each partition. Create a Logical Volume named testvolume1 and testvolume2 having a size 250MB. Mount each Logical Volume on lvmtest1, lvmtest2 directory.

Answer and Explanation:

Steps of Creating LVM:

1.pvcreate /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10

pvdisplay command is used to display the information of physical volume.

2.vgceate test0 /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10

vgdisplay command is used to display the information of Volume Group.

3.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume1 test0

 lvdisplay command is used to display the information of Logical Volume.

4.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume2 test0

5.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume1

6.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume2

7.mkdir /lvtest1

8.mkdir /lvtest2

9.mount /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1

10.mount /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2

11.vi /etc/fstab

/dev/test0/testvolume2/lvtest2ext3defaults0 0

/dev/test0/testvolume1/lvtest1ext3defaults0 0

To create the LVM( Logical Volume Manager) we required the disks having ‘8e’ Linux LVM type. First we should create the physical Volume, then we can create the Volume group from disks belongs to physical Volume. lvcreate command is used to create the logical volume on volume group. We can specify the size of logical volume with –L option and name with -n option.
