Free Practice Questions for RedHat RH302 Exam

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.

1.vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.254>

ServerNamesexample.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/example

DirectoryIndexindex.html

ServerAdminwebmaster@example.com

</VirtualHost>

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

5.service httpd start|restart

6.chkconfig httpd on

7.check using: links http://example.com

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/security/limits.conf

user1,user2-maxlogins1

@training-maxlogins5

2.vi /etc/pam.d/system-auth

sessionrequired/lib/security/pam_limits.so

To limit the number of process or number of logins, we should configure on /etc/security/limits.conf. First Columns contains the username separated by comma or @group name. Second column either hard or soft limits. Third columns called the item, maxloigns or nproc etc.

To identify the session of users we should call the pam_limits module in /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;

option routers 192.168.0.1;

option domain-name “example.com”;

option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;

default-lease-time 21600;

max-lease-time 43200;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0

{

range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.50;

}

/etc/dhcpd.conf file is used to configure the DHCP. Some global options i.e Gateway, domainname, DNS server specified using option keyword.

service dhcpd start | restart

Here your Local LAN means your domain named example.com.

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

example.com

2.vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

dnl # DEAMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA`)dnl

3.m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

4.vi /etc/mail/access

192.168.0RELAY

5.service sendmail start | restart

6.chkconfig sendmail on

/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.

7.vi /etc/aliases

john:jane

8.newaliases

We can redirect the mail of one user to another user using /etc/aliases file. In example all mail of john goes to jane user.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/exports

/local*.example.com(rw,sync) trusted.cracker.org(ro,sync)

service nfs start | restart

service portmap start | restart

chkconfig nfs on

chkconfig portmap on

In Linux to share the data we use the /etc/exports file. Pattern is:

Pathclient(permission)

Shared Directory Path, Client can be single host or domain name or ip address. Permission should specify without space with client lists in parentheses. NFS is RPC service so portmapper service should restart after starting the nfs service. We can specify multiple clients’ list separating by space with different shared option.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/hosts.deny

vsftpd:ALL EXCEPT .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/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

<VirtualHost 192.100.0.2>

ServerNamewww.rhce.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/rhce

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

ServerAdminwebmaster@rhce.com

SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

</VirtualHost>

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)

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.

In Network problem think to check:

IP Configuration: use ifconfig command either IP is assigned to interface or not?

Default Gateway is set or not?

Hostname is set or not?

Routing problem is there?

Device Driver Module is loaded or not?

Device is activated or not?

Check In this way:

use ifconfig command and identify which IP is assigned or not.

cat /etc/sysconfig/networkWhat, What is written here. Actually here are these parameters.

NETWORKING=yes or no

GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

HOSTNAME=?

NISDOMAIN=?

Correct the file

Use netconfig command

Either Select Automatically from DHCP or assign the static IP

Use service network restart or start command

Now try to ping it will work.

This is boot related problem. There will be same questions repeated two times but problem is different.

First When you restart the system you will get the Error:

mount: error 15 mounting ext3

mount: error 2 mounting none

switchroot: mount failed: 22

umount /initrd/dev/: 2

Kernel Panic: no syncing: Attempted to kill init !

This error occurred in your system before showing welcome redhat linux. That means problem in grub boot loader.

Restart the System

Check the grub boot loader configuration by pressing e shortcut key.

You will see like:

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root= / rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

OR

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/root rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

Then Edit Boot loader to make like

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

Check all lines and edit as same as above. Press b to boot the system

After booting the system you should correct the /etc/grub.conf file.

Do the following steps as:

vi /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 172.24.254.254

host server1.example.com

On every clients, DNS server is specified in /etc/resolv.conf. When you request by name it tries to resolve from DNS server.
