Procedure:
How to install Active Directory on Windows 2003
Before you start following this article you must be aware this is simply a lab setup and you need to assign relevant ip
address, hostnames & domain names which are relavant to your enviroment / organisation.

I will be using the following:

Hostname=DC-LAB
IP address=172.16.7.200
Subnet Mask=255.255.0.0
Domain name=LAB.COM
Partition: NTFS ( 8 GB )
The Virtual machine used has been installed as of date when this article was written with a default install of Windows 2003 R2
SP2 + all MS critical updates.
Step 1: Start Windows :)
Step 2: Logon to Windows :)

Step 3: Go to the command prompt. start > run > cmd > click ok
Ensure the hostname is configured correctly. This can be changed at a later date once it has been made a DC but I
personally recommend NOT doing so. Get it right the first time is always recommended. The ip address, subnet mask, DG & DNS
has been set correctly according to your network ip addressing plan.

Oops did I say "Plan" Yes I did, make sure you plan your AD / Network before you get all excited and dive into installing your
domain or else get ready for some horrible nightmares.
I have come across all sorts of networks where so called :) IT administrators have assigned public ip address on the LAN. This
should only be done if the ISP has assigned a range to your office and the network design has a need for the same. Specifically the
networks I refer to have NOT been assigned any public ip's from there ISP and they have taken it upon themselves to use any
numbers they liked :) & had all sorts of problems with there network or dns lookups. Some are still stuck with these problems as
there networks have grown beyond control and extremely complex & simply to implement a change management & rectify this
mistake would cost them a lot more than they ever imagined.

So Plan! Plan! Plan! If unsure take some professional advice.

Step 4: Running DCPROMO.EXE

This can be done in two ways.

a. Either run Manage Your Server Wizard

b. Run dcpromo.exe from the run menu. ( we will use this option.)

The above screen shot "Manage you Server" is not an additional component it is pre installed with windows 2003 and it appears
under Start > Programs > Administrative tools > Manage You Server.

Step 5: The DCPROMO Wizard.

1. If you have not read any notes or seem unclear and still have doubts click on "Active Directory Help" when you see the first
window shown above.
2. If you are comfortable with the information you have in hand go to the next step.
3. Click next.
4. Select "Domain controller for a new domain".

5. Select "Domain in a new Forest"

6. Select "Install and configure DNS server on this computer"

Note: This will prompt you later on in the wizard to copy some files for DNS so keep your Windows 2003 media in hand.
7. Enter your Active Directory domain name here click next.

8. Accept the domain NETBIOS name.

(NetBIOS names provides for down-level compatibility.)

9. Click next.
Note: If your AD has been planned and the growth factor has been taken into account I would recommend to plan these locations
right from the begining. Logs and database should be on a different partition. This will improve performance.
10. Click next.

11. Click next.

12. Type a password (record this password part of your secure server documentation) click next.
Note: This password does not need to be the same as your domain administrator password. To read more regarding this topic click
on the "AD help link" on the same window.
13. View the Summary than click next.

14. Once you click next you will see a series of task performed by the wizard and it will start preparing AD.
15. You than be prompted for Windows 2003 SP2 cd as indicated in point 6 earlier in this article.

16. Insert the cd in your cd rom drive click next. The wizard will start copying the required files for DNS and configured DNS on your
behalf.
17. The wizard completes successfully click finish.

18. Click restart now.

Windows AIK Version 1.0 was released with Windows Vista. New or redesigned tools and technologies included Windows
System Image Manager (Windows SIM), SysPrep,ImageX, and Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) v2.0.[2]

Windows AIK Version 1.1 was released with Windows Vista SP1 (and Windows Server 2008). A number of new tools were
introduced, including PostReflect and VSP1Cln. The new WinPE 2.1 could be more customized. [3]Supported operating systems
include Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows Server 2003 SP2 and
Windows XP SP2.

Windows AIK Version 2.0 was released with Windows 7 beta. Significantly, a single new tool, DISM, replaced several earlier
tools including PEImg and IntlCfg, which were deprecated. The new WinPE 3.0 has AeroSnaps—a Windows 7 feature. The User
State Migration Tool (USMT) was added to this WAIK. [4] Supported operating systems include Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2,
Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows 7 family and Windows Server 2008 R2 family of operating systems.

Windows AIK version 3.0 is exactly the same as 2.0. The version number has only been updated to correspond with the release of

Service.[5] Microsoft has also released a Windows Automated Installation Kit Supplement for Windows 7 SP1. Windows
Automated Installation Kit Readme references the WAIK Supplement, which optionally adds WinPE v3.1 to a previously installed,
compatible WAIK.

The AIK has been renamed The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8 and now includes the
Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit. [6]

The Sysprep tool is not included with WAIK, but is instead included on the Operating System installation media (DVD).

Aim:
To Configuring Disks and Volumes using Disk Manger and Managing disks and volumes from
the command prompt.

System Requirement:

Minimum Requirement Recommended Requirement

Procedure:
Dynamic Disks and Volumes
Dynamic disk storage supports volume-oriented disks. You create the following volume types only on dynamic disks:
 New simple volumes.
 Volumes that span multiple disks (spanned volumes and striped volumes).
 Volumes that are fault-tolerant (mirrored volumes and RAID-5 volumes).
Volumes on dynamic disks are called dynamic volumes. Dynamic disks can support up to 2,000 dynamic volumes per disk (although
the recommended number of volumes is 32 or less per disk).
Local access to dynamic volumes (and to the data that the dynamic volumes contain) is limited to Microsoft Windows 2000
and Microsoft Windows XP Professional-based computers. You cannot create dynamic volumes on (or access dynamic volumes
from) a Windows XP Professional-based computer that has one or more of the following operating systems running:
 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and earlier
 Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
 Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition and earlier
 MS-DOS
You can create dynamic disks by using the Convert to Dynamic Disk command in Disk Management to convert a basic disk.

Using Disk Management

To start Disk Management:
1. Log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. In the
console tree, click Disk Management.
NOTE: You can also click Start, point to Run, type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
In Disk Management, the computer's disks and volumes are displayed in a graphical view and in a list view. By default, the local
computer's disks are displayed; however, if you have the required permissions, you can perform this process on remote computer.
To customize the view of the disks and the volumes in the upper and the lower panes of the window, click View, point to Topor
to Bottom, and then click the view that you want.

NOTE: It is recommended that you perform a full backup of disk contents before you make any changes to disks, volumes, or
partitions.
How to Create a Simple Volume or a Spanned Volume
To create a simple volume or a spanned volume:
1. In Disk Management, perform one of the following steps:
To create a simple volume, right-click unallocated space on the dynamic disk on which you want to create the simple
volume, and then click New Volume.
Use Disk Management Tool (Utility) of Windows to create new simple volume
To use Disk Management Tool (Utility) of Windows to create new simple volume, enter Windows Computer Management interface
firstly, and then choose the desired dynamic disk and right click:
As shown above, click "New Volume…" on pop-up menu, and New Volume Wizard will appear. Please follow its prompts to set
properties for new created simple volume.
2. Select the type you want to create. The New Volume Wizard for that specific type of volume will open. Figure 19-8 shows
the New RAID-5 Volume Wizard.

Figure 19-8 The New RAID-5 Volume Wizard

3. Select the disks to use for the new volume. The choices available and the selections you need to make depend on the type
of volume you're creating and the number of available unallocated disks. Figure 19-9 shows a RAID-5 volume being
created.
Figure 19-9 Select the disks that will be part of this volume.
4. On the same page, adjust the size of the new volume. By default, the new volume will use the maximum available space
from each of the selected disks. For spanned volumes, this will be the sum of the free space on the selected disks; for
other types of volumes, it will be the number of disks multiplied by the available space on the smallest of the selected
disks. Click Next.
5. Select either a drive letter or a mount point for the new volume, as shown in Figure 19-10, or opt not to assign a drive
letter or path at this time. With Windows Server 2008, you can "mount" a volume on an empty subdirectory, minimizing
the number of drive letters and reducing the complexity of the storage that is displayed to the user. If you want to take
advantage of this feature, click Browse to locate the directory where you will mount the new volume. Click Next. (See the
Real World sidebar "Mounted Volumes" for more about this subject.)

Figure 19-10 Select a drive letter or mount point for the new volume.
6. Select the formatting options you want (shown in Figure 19-11). Even when mounting the volume rather than creating a
new drive, you can choose your format type without regard to the underlying format of the mount point. Click Next.
Figure 19-11 Set the formatting options for the new volume.
7. On the confirmation page, if all the options are correct, click Finish to create and format the volume. If the type you've
selected requires that the disks be converted to dynamic disks, you'll see a confirmation message from Disk Management,
as show in Figure 19-12.

Figure 19-12 Before converting disks to dynamic, you must confirm the change.
8. Once the volume is created, it's displayed in Disk Management, as shown in Figure 19-13.
Figure 19-13 The new RAID-5 volume being created

How to Extend a Simple or Spanned Volume

1. If you have not already, you will first need to delete the partition or volume that you want to extend into to make it
unallocated space.
2. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Administrative Tools icon. then close the Control Panel window.
3. Click on Computer Management in Administrative Tools, then close the Administrative Tools window.
4. In the left pane under Storage, click on Disk Management

In the middle pane, right click on the partition or volume directly adjacent (left) of the unallocated space that you want to extend
into, and click on Extend Volume

Type in how many MB (1 GB = 1024 MB) you want to use from the unallocated space to extend the selected partition (step 5) into,
then click on the Next button
Click on the Finish button
The partition or volume has now been extended into the assigned unallocated

 The Windows Server 2003 system and boot files must reside on the same volume to be mirrored.
Note The memory dump file is written only to the boot hard disk. Windows Server 2003 can continue to work with a mirrored
system disk configuration even if one of the disks in the mirror is removed. However, the memory dump file cannot be written to
the remaining system disk in the mirror. You must schedule a system restart for the memory dump file to be written to the
remaining hard disk.
Set up the disk management system
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management to open the Computer Management
console.

2. Expand the Storage node.

3. Click Disk Management.

4. On the View menu, point to Top, and then click Disk List.

In the right pane, the attributes of each disk in the system are displayed.
5. On the View menu, point to Bottom, and then click Graphical View.
At the bottom of the right pane, a color-coded graphical view of the disks on the system is displayed:
o Disk description panel: The disk description panel (which is gray) is located to the left of the volume description,
which is in color. The disk description contains information about each disk's disk number, whether its configuration
is basic or dynamic, its size, and its online or offline status.
o Volume description panel: The volume description panels are color-coded. They hold information about each
volume, such as the drive letter (if assigned), whether the volume is allocated or unallocated, the partition or volume
size, and the health status of the volume.
Upgrade to dynamic disks
To upgrade a basic disk to a dynamic disk, follow these steps:
1. Before you upgrade disks, quit any programs that are running on those disks.
2. Right-click the gray disk description panel, and then click Upgrade to Dynamic Disk.
3. If the second disk is not a dynamic disk, follow these steps to upgrade it to a dynamic disk.
Mirror the boot and system volume
In this scenario, disk 1 is the disk on which the image of disk 0 will be mirrored.
Note Partitions are referred to as volumes when the disks are dynamic.
1. Disk 1 must be unallocated space before you can proceed with mirroring.
2. Right-click disk 0 (which contains the boot and system files), and then click Add Mirror.
3. A dialog box opens in which any disk on your system that is available for mirroring is displayed. Select the disk of your
choice (in this example, it is disk 1), and then click Add Mirror.
Both disk 0 and disk 1 will now have the same color code, the same drive letter, and the volumes will have the status note
"Regenerating" displayed while the information is being copied from the first disk to the second disk. The system will
automatically size the volume of the new mirror to the same size as that of the original boot and system volume.
4. If you now want to boot from the new mirrored disk, you have to change the Boot.ini ARC path that points the computer
to the partition in which the system files are located.
Troubleshooting
How to Make Sure That Disks Are Set Up to Support RAID-5
 Disks: You must have a minimum of three disks to support striping.
 Type: Any disks involved in striping must be dynamic. Conversion from basic to dynamic goes very quickly without data
loss. After you complete this procedure, you must restart the computer.
 Capacity: The RAID-5 volume can take the whole disk or as little as 20 megabytes (MB) for each disk.
 Unallocated space: Any disks that you want to upgrade to a dynamic disk must contain at least 1 MB of free space at the
end of the disk for the upgrade to succeed. Disk Management automatically reserves this free space when it creates
partitions or volumes on a disk, but disks with partitions or volumes that are created by other operating systems might not
have this free space available.
 Status: The status of all disks involved in a stripe volume must be online when you create the striped volume.
 Device Type: You can install striping on any dynamic disk even if there are mixed drive architectures on the computer. For
example, IDE, EIDE, and SCSI drives can all be used in one stripe volume.
To upgrade a basic disk to a dynamic disk:
1. Before you upgrade disks, quit any programs that are running on those disks.
2. Right-click the gray Disk Description pane that is located to the left of the color-coded volume panes, and then
clickUpgrade to Dynamic Disk.
3. If the second disk in not a dynamic disk, follow the steps earlier in this article to upgrade it to a dynamic disk.
How to Convert to RAID-5
In the Disk Management tool, right-click the unallocated space on one of the dynamic disks where you want to create the RAID-5
volume, and then click Create Volume.
1. After the Create Volume Wizard starts, click Next.
2. Click RAID-5 volume, and then click Next.
3. Click the disks in the left pane under All Available Dynamic Disks, and then click the Add tab.
The disks that are displayed in the right pane are labeled Selected.
4. Look at the bottom of the Select Disk dialog box under the Size label.
The For All Selected Disks box displays the maximum size of the RAID-5 volume that you can make.
Click Next. At this time, you may want to assign a drive letter (you can also do this at any other time). To do so, clickAssign
Drive Letter, and then enter an available drive letter.
Alternatively, you can click Do not assign drive letter or path. You can also click Mount this volume on an empty folder that
supports drive paths. However, this selection is beyond the scope of this article.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Format this partition with the following settings, and then follow these steps:
 Type the file system type; FAT32 or NTFS is acceptable.
 Leave the default selection in the Allocation Unit Size box.
 In the Volume Label box, you can keep the default "New Volume" label or you can type your own label.
 At this time, you can click to select the Quick Format check box and the File and Folder Compression check box.
You can also defer both of these tasks if you like.
Click Next, check your selection in the Summary window, and then click Finish.

Installation of Red Hat Linux using Graphical mode.
Date:

Aim:
To Install Red Hat Linux using Graphical mode.

System Requirement:

Component Minimum Requirement

Processor 266 MHz processor
512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended when
Memory
hosting many accounts)
Disk Space 10GB hard disk

Procedure:
Step 1 – Insert the Red Hat Linux DVD into the DVD-drive of your computer. As soon as the following screen pops up, press ‘Enter’
to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) through GUI mode.

Step 2- RHEL installer would then prompt you conduct a check as to whether the CD media from which you’re installing is
functioning correctly or not. Choose ‘Skip’, press enter and the installation would begin.

Step 3- Next, we need to select the language- English or any other language as per your preference, and then press ‘Next’.
Step 4- In this step, the RHEL installer would ask you about the appropriate type of keyboard for the system. We take the ‘US
English’ keyboard, you can pick any other option depending on the type of your keyboard. Then press ‘Next’ to move to the next
step.

Step 5- Next, the installer would ask for an ‘installation number’ if you wish to install full set of Red Hat functionalities. Enter the
installation number and press ‘OK’ if you have an officially licensed installation number(for corporate clients that buy Red Hat’s
backup support and full features).
Step 6- The Red Hat installer would then require you to create partitions in your computer’s hard disk for the installation. You can
do it in four ways but the simplest way is to select ‘Use free space on selected drives and create default layout’ as this option will
not affect any other OS residing in your system.
Check the ‘review and modify portioning layout’ to create partitions and click next.

Step 7- In this step you must create the required system partitions and mount points such as ‘/boot’, ‘/home’, ‘swap’ etc which are
required for the Linux’s proper functioning.
To create different partitions such as /home, /var etc, click on ‘New’ to create the partitions.

Then, select /home in the mount point and choose ‘ext3’ as the file system and give the desired size for it and then click ‘OK’.
Similarly also create /boot and /var.
Also, create a swap partition by clicking on ‘New’ and then choosing the filesystem as ‘swap’ and also give the size of Swap
partition.(Usually size of swap partition SHOULD BE twice the size of RAM available to the system but you can keep its size less than
that too)

Once you have made all the desired partitions and given their mount points,
click ‘Next’ to continue installation.
Step 8- This step pertains to the default OS that will be loaded by the GRUB loader

(Note- If you have multiple Operating Systems installed, you would see multiple options here and you have to check in front of the
OS name that you want to be loaded by default when the system is started.)
Click ‘Next’ to continue.
Step 9- This step pertains to the network settings of the Linux system that you are going to install. You can select the Ethernet
devices through which the system would communicate with other devices in the network.
You can also provide the hostname, Gateway address and DNS address to the system during this step. (However it’s better to adjust
these settings once the system has been fully installed).
Step 10- The next step is to adjust the system clock to your particular time zone. Select your time zone and then click ‘Next’.

Step 11 – This is a very important step that deals with the root(super-user) password for the system . Type the password and
confirm it and then click next.

Step 12 – The RHEL installer would then prompt you about if you wish to install some extra ‘Software Development’ or ‘Web Server’
features. By default, keep it at ‘Customize later’ and press ‘Next’.
Step 13- This next step will initiate the installation of Red Hat Linux, press ‘Next’ to begin the process.

Step 14- Upon the completion of installation you should the following screen. Press Reboot and you’d be ready to use your newly
installed Red Hat Linux OS.

POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS

1. Accept the Red Hat License agreement and click ‘Forward.
2. The next step is regarding the configuration of the Firewall. You can Enable or Disable the firewall according to your preferences
and then click ‘Forward’.

5. Next, adjust the time and date settings, and then click ‘Forward’.
6. The next step is for software updates from Red Hat, at this point you should skip the registration and register at a later time and
then click ‘Forward’.

7. This step is to create a non-admin user for the system. Enter the details and click ‘Forward’.

8. This step is about configuration of your Sound Card, choose a sound device and then click ‘Forward’.

9. Click ‘Forward’ to complete the configurations and start using your Red Hat Linux OS.
(Note- On clicking ‘Finish’ the system would require a reboot if you have made changes to the configurations of Firewall or SE
Linux.)
Your Red Hat Linux OS is now all installed and configured, ready to be used. Good luck using and exploring various features of
Red Hat Linux.

Lets get straight to the task. Just follow the following steps to learn about adding or removing user accounts in Linux using a GUI.
Here I will use GNOME desktop environment but similar steps can be taken in other Desktop Environments to do the same.

Go to Users and groups application to manage users

In order to create a new user, click add user

Disk Space 10GB hard disk

Procedure:
Create /etc/inittab
Now we will create the inittab file for use with our system:
cat > ${CLFS}/etc/inittab<< "EOF"
# /etc/inittab

::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/startup

tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

# uncomment this line if your using a serial console
#::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

::shutdown:/etc/rc.d/shutdown
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
EOF

Setting Hostname
Part of the job of the bootscripts is setting the system's hostname. This needs to be configured in the /etc/HOSTNAME file.
Create the HOSTNAME file and enter a hostname by running:
echo "[clfs]" > ${CLFS}/etc/HOSTNAME
[lfs] needs to be replaced with the name given to the computer. Do not enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) here. That
information will be put in the /etc/hosts file in the next section.
Customizing the /etc/hosts File
If a network card is to be configured, decide on the IP address, FQDN, and possible aliases for use in the /etc/hosts file. The syntax
is:
<IP address> myhost.example.org aliases
Unless the computer is to be visible to the Internet (i.e., there is a registered domain and a valid block of assigned IP addresses—
most users do not have this), make sure that the IP address is in the private network IP address range. Valid ranges are:
Class Networks
A 10.0.0.0
B 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.0.255
C 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255
A valid IP address could be 192.168.1.1. A valid FQDN for this IP could be www.linuxfromscratch.org (not recommended because
this is a valid registered domain address and could cause domain name server issues).
Even if not using a network card, an FQDN is still required. This is necessary for certain programs to operate correctly.
Create the /etc/hosts file by running:
cat > ${CLFS}/etc/hosts << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/hosts (network card version)

127.0.0.1 localhost
[192.168.1.1] [<HOSTNAME>.example.org] [HOSTNAME]

# End /etc/hosts (network card version)

EOF
The [192.168.1.1] and [<HOSTNAME>.example.org] values need to be changed for specific users or requirements (if assigned an IP
address by a network/system administrator and the machine will be connected to an existing network).
If a network card is not going to be configured, create the /etc/hosts file by running:
cat > ${CLFS}/etc/hosts << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/hosts (no network card version)

127.0.0.1 [<HOSTNAME>.example.org] [HOSTNAME] localhost

# End /etc/hosts (no network card version)

EOF

Backup and Cleanup

13.1. Remove Unecessary Files
Well we have this system finished, we can make it smaller by removing files that are not necessary for our build. On this page we
remove the bloat from our build.
Now lets create a backup of our build:
install -dv ${CLFS}-final
cp -arv ${CLFS}/* ${CLFS}-final/
Lets remove the files we don't need anymore:
rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/cross-tools

Rebooting the System

Now that we have said that, lets move on to booting our shiny new CLFS installation for the first time! Reboot the system with:
shutdown -r now
Assuming the boot loader was set up as outlined earlier, CLFS SVN-0.0.1-20061204 will boot automatically.
When the reboot is complete, the CLFS system is ready for use and more software may be added to suit your needs.

System Requirement:

Component Minimum Requirement

Processor 266 MHz processor
512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended when
Memory
hosting many accounts)
Disk Space 10GB hard disk

Procedure:
You can read /etc/passwd file using the while loop and IFS separator as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# seven fields from /etc/passwd stored in $f1,f2...,$f7
#
while IFS=: read -r f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7
do
echo "User $f1 use $f7 shell and stores files in $f6 directory."
done < /etc/passwd

Your password is stored in /etc/shadow file

Your encrpted password is not stored in /etc/passwd file. It is stored in /etc/shadow file. In the good old days there was no great
problem with this general read permission. Everybody could read the encrypted passwords, but the hardware was too slow to crack
a well-chosen password, and moreover, the basic assumption used to be that of a friendly user-community.
Almost, all modern Linux / UNIX line operating systems use some sort of the shadow password suite, where /etc/passwd has
asterisks (*) instead of encrypted passwords, and the encrypted passwords are in /etc/shadow which is readable by the superuser
only.

Understanding fields in /etc/passwd

The /etc/passwd contains one entry per line for each user (or user account) of the system. All fields are separated by a colon (:)
symbol. Total seven fields as follows.
Generally, passwd file entry looks as follows (click to enlarge image):

(Fig.01: /etc/passwd file format - click to enlarge)

1. Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32 characters in length.
2. Password: An x character indicates that encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow file.

3. 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.
4. Group ID (GID): The primary group ID (stored in /etc/group file)
5. 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.
6. 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 /
7. Command/shell: The absolute path of a command or shell (/bin/bash). Typically, this is a shell. Please note that it does not
have to be a shell.
Follow and type the commands EXACTLY as they appear in red (including spaces, hyphens, and any other characters in red)
1. Start up in single-user mode by pressing and holding Apple S
2. Type: mount -uw /

Note
Your grub.conf could look very different if it has been manually edited before or copied from an example.
Read Chapter 29, Configuring the Xen kernel boot parameters for more information on using virtualization and grub.
To set the amount of memory assigned to your host system at boot time to 256MB you need to append dom0_mem=256M to
the xen line in your grub.conf. A modified version of the grub configuration file in the previous example:
#boot=/dev/sda

Installing Fluent Using rpm Package

This article explains how to install the td-agent rpm package, the stable Fluentd distribution package maintained by
Treasure Data, Inc.

What is td-agent?

Fluentd is written in Ruby for flexibility, with performance sensitive parts written in C. However, casual users may have difficulty
installing and operating a Ruby daemon.
That’s why Treasure Data, Inc is providing the stable distribution of Fluentd, called td-agent. The differences between Fluentd and
td-agent can be found here.

Step0: Before Installation

Please follow the Preinstallation Guide to configure your OS properly. This will prevent many unnecessary problems.

Step1: Install from rpm Repository

CentOS and RHEL 5.0+ are currently supported.
Executing install-redhat.sh will automatically install td-agent on your machine. This shell script registers a new rpm repository at
/etc/yum.repos.d/td.repo and installs the td-agent rpm package.
$ curl -L http://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-redhat.sh | sh
Step2: Launch Daemon
The /etc/init.d/td-agent script is provided to start, stop, or restart the agent.
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent start
Starting td-agent: [ OK ]
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent status
td-agent (pid 21678) is running...
The following commands are supported:
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent start
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent stop
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent restart
$ /etc/init.d/td-agent status
Please make sure your configuration file is located at /etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf.
Step3: Post Sample Logs via HTTP
By default, /etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf is configured to take logs from HTTP and route them to stdout (/var/log/td-agent/td-
agent.log). You can post sample log records using the curl command.
$ curl -X POST -d 'json={"json":"message"}' http://localhost:8888/debug.test

Download your desired RPM package. There are many RPM depositories on the Internet, but if you're looking for Red Hat
RPM packages, you can find them here:
o The Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation media, which contain many installable RPMs.
o The initial RPM repositories provided with the YUM package manager.
o The Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) provides high-quality add-on packages for Red Hat Enterprise
LInux.

Install the RPM package. Once downloaded, you have two options:
o Double-click the package. A package management window will appear with instructions to guide you through the
process.
o Open a terminal window, and type rpm -i *package_location_and_name* (without the spaces in and )
EditMethod 2 of 3: Removal

Open a terminal window, and type: rpm -e *package name*. Do not type the extension on the file. For example: rpm -e
gedit
EditMethod 3 of 3: rpm codes

The rpm -i command syntax is listed below.

System Requirement:

Component Minimum Requirement

Processor 266 MHz processor
512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended when
Memory
hosting many accounts)
Disk Space 10GB hard disk

Procedure:
What is Samba?
As the front page at samba.org says, "Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print
services to SMB/CIFS clients." Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability
between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.
Adding a Share
To add a share, click the Add button. The Basic tab configures the following options:
 Directory — the directory to share via Samba. The directory must exist.
 Descriptions — A brief description of the share.
 Basic Permissions — whether users should only be able to read the files in the shared directory or whether they should be
able to read and write to the shared directory.
On the Access tab, select whether to allow only specified users to access the share or whether to allow all Samba users to access
the share. If you select to allow access to specific users, select the users from the list of available Samba users.
The share is added immediately after clicking OK.

24.3. Connecting to a Samba Share

You can use Nautilus to view available Samba shares on your network. Select Main Menu Button (on the Panel) => Network
Servers to view a list of Samba workgroups on your network. You can also type smb: in the Location: bar of Nautilus to view the
workgroups.
As shown in Figure 24-6, an icon appears for each available SMB workgroup on the network.

Double-click one of the workgroup icons to view a list of computers within the workgroup.

As you can see from Figure 24-7, there is an icon for each machine within the workgroup. Double-click on an icon to view the
Samba shares on the machine. If a username and password combination is required, you are prompted for them.
Alternately, you can also specify the Samba server and sharename in the Location: bar for Nautilus using the following syntax

(replace <servername> and <sharename> with the appropriate values):

smb://<servername>/<sharename>/

Procedure:

Im new to linux backup.

Im thinking of full system backup of my linux server using tar. I came up with the following code:
tar -zcvpf /archive/fullbackup.tar.gz
--exclude=/archive
--exclude=/mnt
--exclude=/proc
--exclude=/lost+found
--exclude=/dev
--exclude=/sys
--exclude=/tmp
/
and if in need of any hardware problem, restore it with
cd /
tar -zxpvf fullbackup.tar.gz

In these examples, I will use the following file structure: a top level directory called DIR1 containing the files picture.jpg,
document.doc and database.db.
DIR1/
DIR1/picture.jpg
DIR1/document.doc
DIR1/database.db
It's a good idea to do a full backup of the hard-drive after the initial installation as well as when you finally get your
server set up the way you want. Having a snapshot of your system right after the initial installation gives you something to revert
back to should you want to reconfigure your server without starting from scratch. Linux has many backup utilities but the old
standard is still the favorite of admins because of the flexibility offered by its myriad of options.

Then use the nano editor to create our shell script file with the command:
nano fullserver.sh
and enter the following command into it (and don't miss that period at the end of the command):
tar -cvpf /backups/fullbackup.tar --directory=/ --exclude=proc
--exclude=sys --exclude=dev/pts --exclude=backups .
The above command is on multiple lines for readability. Enter everything on the same line when entering the command in the
editor. Once entered, exit the editor (Ctrl-X) saving the file.

The c option creates the backup file.

The v option gives a more verbose output while the command is running. This option can also be safely eliminated.
The p option preserves the file and directory permissions.
The f option needs to go last because it allows you to specify the name and location of the backup file which follows next in the
command (in our case this is the /backups/fullbackup.tar file).

In addition to holding your backup file, the /backups directory now holds your script file also. You have to make your script

executable before you can run it. To do that and run it enter the following two commands:
chmod 750 /backups/fullserver.sh
./backups/fullserver.sh
To restore your "tar ball" you need to copy it to the top-most point in the file tree that it backed up. In our case the --directory
option told tar to start backing up from the root of the file system so that's where we would want to copy the tar ball to. Then
simply replace the c option with the x parameter line so:
tar -xvpf /fullbackup.tar
Having a backup file is nice but not of much use if the hard-drive itself fails. If your server is running the wu-ftpd FTP server daemon,
you should FTP the tar ball off of your server so that it is stored on a different system.
