    Managing Users
    ▸ To manage users, use YaST: Applications > System Tools > YaST > User and Group Management. (Or
    use this command: sudo /sbin/yast2 users)

    For more information, see the Deployment Guide, Part Initial System Configuration, Chapter Managing
    Users with YaST at https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    Administrator Privileges
    ▸ On Linux, administrator privileges can be assigned by adding a user to the file /etc/sudoers.

    ▸ To manage this file on SUSE Linux Enterprise, use YaST: Applications > System Tools > YaST > Sudo.
    (Or use this command: sudo /sbin/yast2 sudo)

    For more information, see the Administration Guide, Part Common Tasks, Chapter sudo at
    https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    System Services
    ▸ To manage which services are enabled, which are running and show their status, use YaST:
    Applications > System Tools > YaST > Services Manager. (Or use this command: sudo /sbin/yast2
    services-manager)

    For more information, see the Administration Guide, Part System, Chapter The systemd Daemon at
    https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    Managing System Services


    The selected service can be controlled using Start/Stop. To enable or disable a service by default,
    make sure that the default system target is selected, then click Enable/Disable.

    Setting the Default System Target


    The default system target (sometimes called the “default run level”) determines what mode your
    system boots into. Select it from the drop-down box under Default System Target.

    Firewall
    ▸ To manage firewall settings, use YaST: Applications > System Tools > YaST > Firewall. (Or use this
    command: sudo /sbin/yast2 firewall)

    ▸ The firewall on SUSE Linux Enterprise allows setting rules for each interface independently. You
    can also enable masquerade, port forwarding and broadcasting in the firewall settings.

    For more information, see the Security Guide, Part Network Security, Chapter Masquerading and
    Firewalls at https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    (Or use this command: sudo /sbin/yast2 auth-client)

    For more information, see the Security Guide, Part Authentication, Chapter Setting Up Authentication
    Servers and Clients Using YaST at https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    Managing Partitions and Storage Devices


    Changing the Partition Layout
    ▸ To view or change the partition layout, use YaST: Applications > System Tools > YaST > Partitioner.
    (Or use this command: sudo /sbin/yast2 disk)

    ⚠ To avoid data loss, unmount partitions before modifying them! To unmount a partition, open a
    terminal, then do:

    1. To be able to pick the right device, check which partitions are mounted using the command:
    mount
    This will return a list that with entries structured like this: DEVICE on MOUNT_POINT type
    FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE (FILE_SYSTEM_OPTIONS).

    2. Use the mount point information from the previous step to unmount the appropriate file
    system: sudo umount MOUNT_POINT

    For more information, see the Storage Guide at https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/.

    Creating a Windows Share


    ▸ To create Windows share, use Samba which implements the SMB protocol.

    ▸ To set up a SMB server, use YaST: Applications > System Tools > YaST > Samba Server.

    ▸ Alternatively: As administrator, press Alt–F2 and enter /sbin/yast2 samba-server

    For more information, see the Administration Guide, Part Services, Chapter Samba at
