3. Link of the week File System  http://www.skillsheaven.com/linuxfil.php This site addresses every concern you might have about Linux from history, version types, pros and cons, trouble shooting, file system, and downloads. Define File System The methods, organization of data, and metadata that an operating system uses to keep track of files on a disk or partition on a storage device.

4. Link of the week Linux File system ext3 includes journaling capabilities that allows for faster recovery after unexpected reboots. Journaling reduces the amount of time spent recovering a file system after a crash, and is therefore in high demand in environments where high availability is important, not only to improve recovery times on single machines but also to allow a crashed machine's file system to be recovered on another machine when we have a cluster of nodes with a shared disk.

5. Link of the week Define file system with journaling : A file system with journaling is based on the techniques used from real-time transaction processing. A transaction log is used to store transactions either in a designated file system location or on a separate disk partition. As changes are made to the file system, metadata changes are recorded to the log and writing entries to the log are done prior to writing the actual buffers to disk.

6. Link of the week Linux file system with journaling In the event of a system crash, the entries in the log file remain intact and are replayed. Maintaining this level of data integrity ensures that the file system is in a constant state.

7. Review week ten lab assignment Definition: Network Protocol is a standard procedure and format that two data communication devices must understand, accept and use in order to be able to communicate with each other. A network protocol determines the following: • The type of error checking to be performed. • The data compression method to be used. • How the sending device will indicate that it has finished sending a message. • How the receiving device will indicate that it has received a message.

8. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/password file Location: /etc/passwd Field separators: Colon (:) File format: Username:Password:UID:GID:UserID:Home directory:Command/shell Example: dandrear:x:1020:1021:dandrear user:/export/home/dandrear:/bin/ksh Permissions on Einstein: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1636 Aug 16 10:37 /etc/passwd

9. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/passwd file • Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32 characters in length. • Password: An x character indicates that encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow file. • User ID (UID): Each user must be assigned a user ID (UID). UID 0 (zero) is reserved for root and UIDs 1-99 are reserved for other predefined accounts. Further UID 100-999 are reserved by system for administrative and system accounts/groups. • Group ID (GID): The primary group ID (stored in /etc/group file) • User ID Info: The comment field. It allow you to add extra information about the users such as user’s full name, phone number etc. This field use by finger command. • Home directory: The absolute path to the directory the user will be in when they log in. If this directory does not exists then users directory becomes / • Command/shell: The absolute path of a command or shell (/bin/bash). Typically, this is a shell. Please not it does not have to be a shell.

10. Review week ten lab assignment Example of /etc/passwd file root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/sbin/nologin lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/sbin/nologin sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt

11. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/passwd file The /etc/passwd file is considered the user database for the system. The information contained in the /etc/passwd file is useful for applications running on the system to access. In summary, the /etc/passwd file is located under the system configuration and executables directory. The /etc/passwd file is the system’s master list of information about user accounts.

12. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/shadow file Location: /etc/shadow Field separators: Colon (:) File format: username:passwd:lastpasswdch:min:max:warn:inactive:expire:unused Example: dandrear:$1$dhBysgdhfteM9gd00:13064:0:99999:7::: Permissions on Einstein: -r-------- 1 root root 1107 Sep 5 15:24 /etc/shadow (Permission denied)

13. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/shadow file • User name : It is your login name • Password: It your encrypted password. The password should be minimum 6-8 characters long including special characters/digits • Last password change (last changed): Days since Jan 1, 1970 that password was last changed • Minimum: The minimum number of days required between password changes i.e. the number of days left before the user is allowed to change his/her password • Maximum: The maximum number of days the password is valid (after that user is forced to change his/her password) • Warn : The number of days before password is to expire that user is warned that his/her password must be changed • Inactive : The number of days after password expires that account is disabled • Expire : days since Jan 1, 1970 that account is disabled i.e. an absolute date specifying when the login may no longer be used • Unused field:

14. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/shadow file • The “X” in the /etc/passwd file password field indicates that the shadow file contains the encrypted password. • Red Hat Linux uses MD5 by default. • Most Linux systems utilize MD5 as their encrypted form. • MD5 requires 34 characters in encryption form. • MD5 begins with a dollar sign, number, and a dollar sign (e.g. $1$ or $6$ …). • The shadow file is only readable by root. In summary, the /etc/shadow file contains the encoded passwords and password settings. The /etc/shadow file contains all the guide lines that pertain to the administration of the password.

15. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/group file Location: /etc/group Field separators: Colon (:) File format: Group name:Password:GID:User_list Example: faculty:x:410: staff:x:430: Permissions on Einstein: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 833 Aug 16 10:37 group

16. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/group file • Group name: Name of the group. • Password: The group password is encrypted. If this field is empty, no password is needed. Otherwise, an “X” in the field indicates the password is stored in the /etc/gshadow file. • GID: The numerical group ID and/or unique group identifier. • User_list: All the group member's user names, separated by commas. Most Unix-like systems impose a limit of 16 to 32 group memberships per user.

17. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/group file ntp:x:38: student:x:101: itadmin:x:400: faculty:x:410: csfac:x:420:mccannp,sieberth,hochstew,whittakt,morganr,hartung staff:x:430: hpsmh:x:501: kumarp:x:503: caldwelr:x:505: apache:x:48: oinstall:x:600: Linux utilizes the vigr command used to edit the /etc/group file.

18. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/group file In summary, the /etc/group file identifies a collection of users who generally share similar functions. These groupings are not limited to departments or project.

19. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/gshadow file • Group-name: is the name of the group • Password: is the encoded version of the password • Group-admins: is the list of members in the group • Additional- users: a copy of additional members. In summary, the /etc/gshadow file is utilized to store the /etc/group password.

20. Review week ten lab assignment File Summary /etc/passwd - user account information /etc/shadow - secure user password information /etc/group - group information /etc/gshadow - secure group password information User account files The /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group files are considered the most important files for storing user account and authentication information. Command to add a user account Linux/Knoppix –useradd Command to remove a user account Knoppix – deluser Linux - userdel

21. Review week ten lab assignment Managing Users Adding a user to a computer involves several steps before the user can actually log in and perform user operations. Every user that intends to utilize a computer must first gain access to that system, then go through an initialization process found under the user’s home directory. The new user initialization process begins by reading and executing the commands and environmental variables found in the $HOME/.profile file or .bash_profile. Normally, the .profile is run automatically when you log into the system and the user’s environment is set up silently. Once the user is granted access permission to the system, a shell is spawn to allow the user to interact with the system. Display the ~dandrear/.profile When adding a new user account to the system, the administrator assigns the username a user identification number (UID). The UID is used internally by the system to identify each user. Duplicating the UID causes the accounts to share an identity in the system.

22. Review week ten lab assignment Processes & symbol represents the background process. Once a background process is launched by a terminal session, the process becomes unattached to the terminal that launched it. Background processes are terminated with PID=n and typing kill -9 PID Example: simple_script & Once a foreground process is started, it remains in the foreground until it completes, because it remains attached to the terminal. Foreground process by typing Ctl-C or Ctl-Z

23. Review week ten lab assignment Kernel functions is two broad types: An autonomous function is the allocation of memory and CPU, are performed without explicitly requested by a user process. A responsive function is one where resource allocation and process creation and management, are initiated by requests from processes. The daemon processes are started as part of the boot process and run until the system is shut down. Daemon processes can be associated with a systems database applications, network , secure terminal and file transfer, and scheduling tasks

24. Review week ten lab assignment The UNIX inetd daemon may start the telnetd to handle a telnet connection. Inetd daemon may start the ftpd to handle an ftp connection. One daemon may start another; the UNIX inetddaemonwill accept a network connection and then start another daemon to handle the connection, based on the type of connection. There are various processes in UNIX that are not owned by a user, but exist to provide services. These processes are often called "daemons.“ The inetd superserver runs continuously listening for network connections. This type of daemon is more susceptible to be system breaches.

25. Review week ten lab assignment xinetd daemon The Linus xinetd daemon is a more secure replacement for the inetd superserver. The xinetd superserver listens for network connections. When a connection is made, it launches a specific daemon and forwards the data from the socket to the daemon’s standard input. Basically, the xinetd superserver works on-demand.

26. Review week ten lab assignment Single threaded process is when a process only performs one task. Multi-threaded process is when a process can perform multiple tasks concurrently without extra overhead needed to create a new process. Word processor is a multi-threaded process.

27. Review week ten lab assignment Kernel Functions The kernel is part of the operating system that allocates machine resources, including memory, disk space, and CPU cycles, to all other programs that run on a computer. The kernel is responsible for creating the init process. The init process is created through a process called hand-crafted or spontaneous.

28. Review week ten lab assignment fork command Is a command that causes the shell to fork a new process, creating a duplicate of the shell process (sub-shell). exec command The new process attempts to exec the command. If the command is a binary executable program, like a compiled C program, exec succeeds and the system overlays the newly created sub-shell with the executable program. The fork and exec commands are system calls that are executed by the operating system.

29. Review week ten lab assignment Linux Process States Processes go through various process states during their existence. These are transitory states managed by the operating system (OS). The specifics of these process states vary from one OS to another, as well as state names. Waiting(process scheduler - load from secondary storage to main memory) Executing(after a process is assigned a processor by a short – term scheduler, context switch is performed) Stopped(The process has been stopped, usually by receiving a signal. A process that is being debugged can be in a stopped state or another task is executing ) Zombie(This is a halted process for some reason. Still has a task_structdata structure)

31. Review week ten lab assignment

32. Review week ten lab assignment A zombie process is one that has completed execution but still has an entry in the process table, allowing the process that started it to read its exit status. Remember that a zombie is already dead. Processes marked <defunct> are dead processes (so-called "zombies") Locate a zombie process on cs.franklin.edu Commands: ps-aux ps-aux | awk ‘{ print $8 “ “ $2 } ‘ | grep -w Z

33. Review week ten lab assignment Orphan process is a process whose parent process has terminated or finished. Characteristics of an orphan process: The owner of an orphan process can kill that process. Logging off your terminal will not guarantee termination of your orphan. An orphan process may continue to execute, taking up system resources and slowing the machine down for other users. If you notice slow performance on a machine and you see an orphan process that doesn’t belong to you.

34. Review week ten lab assignment Locate the orphan process root 7965 938 0 13:11 ? 00:00:00 sshd: dandrear@pts/3 dandrear 7968 7965 0 13:11 pts/3 00:00:00 -ksh dandrear 8145 7968 0 13:21 pts/3 00:00:00 ps -ef dandrear 8146 7968 0 13:21 pts/3 00:00:00 grepdandrear dandrear 8074 7068 0 01:14 pts/3 00:24:00 paydetail dandrear 8147 7968 0 13:14 pts/3 00:00:00 sort -u dandrear 8174 7968 0 13:14 pts/3 00:01:00 paydetail dandrear 8134 7969 0 13:14 pts/3 00:00:00 ps -ef dandrear 8085 7970 0 13:14 pts/3 00:00:00 less

36. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit This init script performs basic system configuration which includes setting the system clock, hostname, and keyboard mapping; setting up the swap partitions; checking the remaining file system for errors; and turning on the quota management. /etc/rc.d/rc This init script runs the scripts for the services that need to be started when you first bring the system up and that need to be started or stopped when the system foes from single user mode to multiuser mode and back down again.

37. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/rc.d/init.d This init directory contains shell rc scripts and run via symbolic links in the /etc/rc.d/rcn.d directories, where n is the runlevel the system is entering. The following scripts reside in this directory. /etc/rc.d/rc.local This file is executed after the init scripts. Commands can be placed in this file to customize the system. These commands are best suited to execute in the background and after the initialization process completes.

38. Review week ten lab assignment /etc/rc.d/rc1.d This directory contains scripts the start and stop during a specific run level. The following scripts execute during run level one (1): K10cups K25sshd K50netdump K74nscd K86nfslock K91isdn S01sysstat Notice the numbering from 00 to 99. This numbering provides positioning of a script within the whole scheme of execution.

39. Week ten, eleven, & twelve expected outcomes Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to: • Manipulate user accounts. • Describe how cron is used to invoke repetitive processes. • Manipulate process structure including: a) fork and execute b) Initialization process c) Background/foreground d) PS tool • Explain basic UNIX security issues. • Describe disk and file system structure. • Use backup and restore archival operations on a system. • Establish network services. • Investigate the structure of the LDAP directory using LDAP commands.

40. Next Lab Assignment Samba Samba is a suit of open source software programs that accommodates UNIX-like operating systems. The name Samba was derived from SMB (Server Message Block), the protocol that is native method of file and printer sharing for Windows. As a server, Samba shares Linux files and printers with Windows systems. As a client, Samba allows Linux users access to files on Windows systems. Samba has the capability to share files across heterogeneous computing environments.

41. Next Lab Assignment The Samba server uses UDP ports 137 and 138 and TCP ports 139 and 445. Normally, openings in the firewall are needed during installation. Samba users must have the same username as a Linux username or must map to a Linux username. The username(s) that map a Linux username are located in /etc/samba/smbusers file. The record format is linux_user_name = smb_user_name  

42. Next Lab Assignment Samba uses its own passwords to enter Samba, not Linux passwords. These passwords are located in the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. Initially, when Samba is installed, this file does not exist on the system. Each technique described, allows the system administrator to add users to smbusers and passwords to smbpasswd. To map a password from a Windows system to a Linux system, use the command smbpasswd –a smb_passwwd

43. Next Lab Assignment JumpStart To configure a Samba server, the system-config-samba utility best serves this basic need. This tool is the best one to use if you’re not familiar with Samba. The system-config-samba utility performs three basic functions: configuring the server, configuring users, and setting up shares that are exported to the Windows system. What is a share? It is a filesystem hierarchy that is shared with another system using SMB. It is a directory hierarchy that is exported from a Linux system to a Windows system.

44. Next Lab Assignment The /etc/samba/smb.conf file controls a large portion of how Samba works. The smb-config file is divided into sections to specifically address certain sections. They are as follows: [globals] Defines global parameters [printers] Defines printers [homes] Defines shares in the “homes” directory. This share allows each user’s home directory to be shared with specific parameters. [share name] Defines a share Comments: # or ; Execute testparm to check whether the smb.conf file is syntactically correct.

45. Next Lab Assignment • HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a language used to create documents and the World Wide Web. HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD>(enter here what document is about)<BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. Define: Common Gateway Interface (CGI) It is a standard used for interfacing between applications with information servers (Web server). Application: CGI scripts execute in real-time and their output is dynamic in content. Scripts are designed to be executed from a Web daemon that will transmit information to another software facilitator (database engine), and receive the results back again and display them to the client.

46. Next Lab Assignment /etc/inittabformat (id:runlevel:action:process) id is a unique sequence of 1-4 characters which identify an entry in /etc/inittab runlevel is a specific process level that action should be taken action describes which action should be performed process specifies which process to be executed.

47. Next Lab Assignment /etc/inittab Actions respawn – The process will be restarted whenever it terminates. wait – The process will be started once when the specific runlevel is entered and init will wait for its termination. once – The process will be executed once when the specific runlevel is entered. boot – The process will be executed during system initialization. initdefault – This entry specifies the runlevel which should be entered after system boot. sysinit – The process will be executed during system boot. It will be executed before any boot or boot wait entries.

48. Next Lab Assignment /etc/inittabActions powerwait – The process will be executed when the power goes down. powerokwait – This process will be executed as soon as init process is informed that the power has been restored. powerfailnow – This process will be executed when the init process is informed that the battery of the external UPS power is failing. ctraltdel – The process is executed when the init process receives the SIGINT signal. This means that someone on the system console has pressed the Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination.

49. Next lab assignment /etc/inittab describes which processes are started at boot-up and during normal operations. The runlevel field may be a single value for a process. # System initialization. 10:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0 11:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 12:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2 13:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 14:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4 15:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5 16:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6

50. Next lab assignment The runlevel field may be multi-valued for a process. # Run mingetty in standard runlevels 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
