Official OS Free OS
(Red Hat Enterprises Linux) ( Red Hat 9, Fedora)
 INTRODUCTION TO LINUX
• Linux is quite possibly the most important free
software achievement.
• It has been developed into an operating system
for business, education and personal
productivity.
• Linux (pronounced with a short I, as in LIH-
nucks) is a UNIX operating system clone.
 History of Linux
• UNIX is one of the most popular operating systems
worldwide because of its large support base and
distribution.
• It was originally developed at AT&T as a
multitasking operating system for minicomputers and
mainframes in the 1970’s, but has since grown to
become one of the most widely used operating
systems.
• Linux is a free version of UNIX developed by LINUS
TORVALDS at the university of Helsinki in Finland.
 About Linux
• Linus Torvalds originally developed Linux as
a hobby project.
• Minix, a small UNIX system developed by
Andy Tanenbaum, inspired it
• The Linux kernel uses no code from AT&T or
any other proprietary source.
• On October 5, 1991, Linus announced the first
“official” version of Linux ,which was version
0.02.
 Famous Linux Distributions
• Red Hat Linux
• SuSe Linux
• Caldera Linux
• Mandrake Linux
• Open Linux
• Aryabhat Linux
 Why Linux?
• Linux is a UNIX like operating systems
• Multi-user, Multi-tasking and Multi Processor
Support
• There are no royalty or license fees
“ A Linux Distribution has thousands of
dollars worth of software for no cost or a
couple of dollars if purchased on CD/DVD “
• Software Development Supports
• Linux runs on nearly any CPU
• Linux works very well as a personal computer
UNIX for the desktop
• Linux works well for server operations
• X-Window system (An excellent window
system called X)

• Hardware Devices :
The lower most layer is the hardware components
(i.e. physical components like your motherboard, hard disk
drive, floppy drive, memory, etc…)
• Kernel :
When your system is booted, the Linux kernel will
be loaded into the memory of your system and after that the
kernel will control the entire operating system.

Linux File System Structure
• The /dev Directory :
The directory contains file system entries which represent device
that are attached to the system.
• The /etc Directory :
The directory is reserved for configuration file that are local to
your machine.
• The /lib Directory :
The directory should contain only those libraries that are needed
to execute the binaries in /bin and /sbin.
• The /dev Directory :
The directory refers to temporarily mounted file systems, such as
CD-ROMs and floppy disks.
• The /opt Directory :
The directory provides an area for usually large, static
application software package to be stored.
• The /proc Directory :
The directory contains special “ file” that either extract
information from or send information to the kernel.
• The /sbin Directory :
The directory is for executables used only by the root user.
• The /bin Directory :
The directory is for executables used only by the users.
• The /usr Directory :
The directory is for files that can be shared across a whole site.
• The /var Directory :
The directory “ … variable data files. This include spool
directory and file, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary
files”.
• The /root Directory :
This is home directory for the administrator.
• The /home Directory :
The directory have the home directory for the user’s.

• The /boot Directory :

The directory have the kernel and booting files.

• The /tmp Directory :

The directory only temporarily files stores.

• The /lost + found Directory :

The directory used by function to placed the files.
Examples : linking files.
 Files Permission
• To change the permission to file and
directory’s

-/- - -/- - - /- - -
 Types of the Files
• - Regular file

• d Directory

• b Block device

• l Linking files

• c Character files
 Default permission in file and
directory
• File

- / r w -/r - - /r - -

• Directory

d / r w x /r – x /r – x
 File permission can be assign two
ways

• Symbolic method.

• Numeric 0r Absolute method.

 Symbolic Method
• + To add a Permission
• - To remove a permission
• = To assign permission to equal
• U User or Owner
• G Group
• O Other’s or Public
• a All (user, group, and other’s)
 Examples
• To create a file
# touch ramesh
# ls –l
-/ r w - / r - - /r - -
• To change the permission
Ex 1: # chmod < Permission> <file or directory>
# chmod g+wx ramesh
-/ r w -/r w x /r - -
Ex 2: # chmod a=rw ramesh

- / r w - /r w - /r w –
 Numeric or Absolute Method
• Permission can be assigned using numeric
word.
 Examples
• Syntax :
#chmod <permission> <File or Directory >
# chmod U G O file or dir

• Example:
#chmod 742 Ramesh
d/ r w x / r - - /- w -
# chmod 312 murali
- / - w x /- - x / - w –

“ Do Practice”
 Advance or Special Permission
• This file permission assign to a execute file.
( Directory)

Setuid = 4
Setgid = 2
Stickybit = 1
• To assign execute permission user, group, and
others means.
Setuid – Set user identify – s
Setgid – Set group identify – s
Stickybit – Other identify – t
• Can ‘t to assign execute permission user, group,
and others means.
Setuid – Set user identify – S
Setgid – Set group identify – S
Stickybit – Other identify – T
 Examples
- / - - S or s /- - S or s /- - T or T
Identify
• Syntax :
#chmod <permission> <File or Directory >
# chmod ID U G O file or dir
To assign the user, group, and
others
• Example:
#chmod 5742 murali
d/ r w s / r - - /- w T

# chmod 7241 murali

- / - w S /r - S / - - t

“ Do Practice”
 File Compressing
• To compressing the files.

* gzip :
It’s Compressing Linux and Unix based files. It can compress up to 75%
of the current files. The Compressed file will be in “.gz” format.
Ex: Ex: “murali.gz”
1. To Compress the file:

Syntax : # gzip <Filename>

Example : # gzip murali

2 To Unzipped the File:

Example : # gunzip murali.gz

3 To View the content in a gzip file :

Example : zcat murali.gz
* bzip2 :
It’s Compressing Small based files. It can compress up to 65%
of the current files. The Compressed file will be in “.bz2” format. Ex:
Ex: “murali.bz2”
1. To Compress the file:

Syntax : # bzip2 <Filename>

Example : # bzip2 murali

2 To Unzipped the File:

Example : # bunzip2 murali.bz2

3 To View the content in a bzip file :

Example : bzcat murali.bz2

CHAPTER - 7
USERS & GROUPS
USERS Administration
• Linux we can create up to 65535 users.
• Each user will be assign the unique id starting from 0 to
65535.
• User id from 0 to 99 is assigned for build user.
• We can assign the user id from 100 to 65535.
• By default system will assign the user id starting from
500.

User Account Database

 Simple Creation in Terminal
• Syntax : # useradd <username> or
# adduser <username>
• Example:
# useradd murali
by default system create:
Home directory : /murali
User ID : 500
Group ID : 500
Shell : /bin/sh
 Manual Creation in Terminal
• Syntax : # useradd <options> <username> or
# adduser <options> <username>
• Example:
# useradd -u 100 –s /bin/bash murali
• Options :
-u – To set the user ID.
-g – To set the group ID.
-G – To set the secondary group ID.
-c – Commands.
-s – To specify the shell (ksh, bash, and t-csh or csh).
ksh Korn shell
bash Bourne again shell
c-sh Turbo compiler shell
• To modify the user accounts:
# usermod –u 200 –s /bin/bash murali
to change the user ID (200) and shell (bash) in murali user.

• To deleting an user’s:
# userdel murali (to delete a without home directory)
# userdel –r murali (to delete a with home directory)
• To set password the user:
#passwd murali
New password : *****
Retype password: *****
• To set without password the user:
# passwd –d murali (-d means without password).
 Group Administration in Terminal
• A group contain similar type of user as it members.
( Collection of users called as group)
• The Group Add :
Syntax : #groupadd [-g GID ] group name
Example : #groupadd –g 100 Linux-Admin
• The Group Modify:
Syntax : # groupmod [ -g new gid ] [ -n new name] group
name
Example : #groupmod –g 109 –n mail-Admin Linux-Admin
• The Delete a Group:
Example : #groupdel Linux-Admin
Graphical Mode (User & Group)
CHAPTER - 8
Disk Administration
 Devices
• Devices are either block devices or character devices.
• A Character device is one from which you can read a sequence
of character. Example: Keyboard.
• A block device is one that stores data and offers access to all
parts equally, It’s also referred as random access devices.
Example : Hard disk.
• /dev/hda - IDE Hard disk – Primary Master.
• /dev/hdb - IDE Hard disk – Primary Slave.
• /dev/hdc - IDE Hard disk – Secondary Master.
• /dev/hdd - IDE Hard disk – Secondary Slave.
• /dev/sda - First SCSI Hard disk.
• /dev/sdb - Second SCSI Hard disk.
• /dev/fd0 - Floppy Disk Drive.
• /dev/cdrom - Cdrom Drive – Linked to corresponding hard disk
device file according to the configuration.
• /dev/hda1 - First partition in the primary master IDE hard disk
drive .
• /dev/hda2 - Second partition in the primary master IDE hard disk
drive .
• /dev/sda1 - First partition in the first SCSI hard disk drive.
• Mount - For accessing a block device you have to mount it in
the different devices. The location you are mounting
the device is called the mounting point.
# mount <device path> <mounting point>
# mount /dev/cdrom /root/murali
• Umount - Is used to unmount a mount file systems.
# umount /root/cdrom
• The /etc/mtab file :
The file contains the information about the currently
mounted file systems. This file will automatically updated when you are
mounting or unmounting partitions.
• The /etc/fstab file :
Is a text file which contain the information of the file
system. This file reads during the system startup and the file specified in it will
get mounted automatically.
• Creating New File systems :
After formatting a block device like floppy you have to make
file system on the floppy .
Syntax : # mkfs –t fstype device name
Example : #mkfs –t ext2 /dev/fd0

File system:
Ext2 --- Extended 2
Ext3 --- Extended 3
 Disk partition Steps :
• To show the partition:
# fdisk –l
• To create a partition:
Example : Secondary IDE hard disk means ( /dev/hdb )
#fdisk /dev/hdb
command (m for help) : m
command (m for help) : n
command action
l logical (5 or over)
p Primary (1 – 4 )
press l
First Cylinder (400 – 2437, default 400) : 400
last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (400-2437, default 2437) : 500
command (m for help) : w
• Reboot your machine:
# reboot
• Create a file system:
Example : /dev/hdb8
# mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hdb8
• To mount the partition:
# mount /dev/hdb8 /murali

Firewall with IP tables
• The Linux kernel contains advanced tools for packet filtering, the process of
controlling network packets as they attempt to enter, move through, and exit
your system.
• Structure:
#iptables [-t <table-name>] <command> <chain-name> <parameter-1>
<option -1> <parameter –n> <option –n>
• Commands :
-A – Append the iptables rule to end of the specified chain.
-D – Deletes a rule in a particular chain by number in a chain.
• INPUT:
All incoming package are checked against rules in the change.
• OUTPUT:
All outgoing package are checked against rules in the change.
• Packet Paten :
-s – All the packet are checked for a specific source IP.
• Block :
-j – The Packet’s is drop , no massage send to the requesting computer.
• Reject :
The Packet’s drop, an error massage send to the requesting computer.
