    QUESTION: 1
    CORRECT TEXT
    Change the root Password to redtophat

    A. Boot the system in Single user modeUse the passwd command

    Answer(s): A

    QUESTION: 2
    CORRECT TEXT
    Dig Server1.example.com, Resolve to successfully through DNS Where DNS server is
    172.24.254.254

    A. #vi /etc/resolv.conf
    nameserver 172.24.254.254
    # dig server1.example.com
    #host server1.example.com
    DNS is the Domain Name System, which maintains a database that can help your computer
    translate domain names such as www.redhat.com to IP addresses such as 216.148.218.197.
    As no individual DNS server is large enough to keep a database for the entire Internet, they can
    refer requests to other DNS servers.
    DNS is based on the named daemon, which is built on the BIND (Berkeley Internet Name
    Domain) package developed through the Internet Software Consortium Users wants to access
    by name so DNS will interpret the name into ip address. You need to specify the Address if DNS
    server in each and every client machine. In Redhat Enterprise Linux, you need to specify the
    DNS server into /etc/resolv.conf file.
    After Specifying the DNS server address, you can verify using host, dig and nslookup
    commands.

    Answer(s): A

    CORRECT TEXT
    Your System is going use as a router for 172.24.0.0/16 and 172.25.0.0/16. Enable the IP
    Forwarding.

    A. 1. echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward


    2. vi /etc/sysctl.conf
    net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    /proc is the virtual filesystem, containing the information about the running kernel. To change
    the parameter of running kernel you should modify on /proc. From Next reboot the system,
    kernel will take the value from /etc/sysctl.conf.

    Answer(s): A

    2. Start the nfs service: service nfs start
    3. Start the portmap service: service portmap start
    4. Make automatically start the nfs service on next reboot: chkconfig nfs on
    5. Make automatically start the portmap service on next reboot: chkconfig portmap on
    6. Verify either sharing or not: showmount -e localhost
    7. Check that default firewall is running on system ? if running flush the iptables using iptables -
    F and stop the iptables service.

    QUESTION: 6
    CORRECT TEXT
    neo user tried by:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70
    files created successfully. Again neo tried to create file having 70K using following command:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70
    But he is unable to create the file. Make the user can create the file less then 70K.

    A. Very Tricky question from redhat. Actually question is giving scenario to you to implement
    quota to neo user. You should apply the quota to neo user on /home that neo user shouldn't
    occupied space more than 70K.
    1. vi /etc/fstab
    mount the filesystem with usrquota for user quota and grpquota for group quota.
    that /home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.

    Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500):


    Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
    /dev/mapper/vo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0
    Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30.
    Verify using the repquota /home command.

    Answer(s): A

    QUESTION: 7
    CORRECT TEXT
    One Logical Volume is created named as myvol under vo volume group and is mounted. The
    Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 124MB. Make successfully that the size of Logical Volume
    245MB without losing any data. The size of logical volume 240MB to 255MB will be acceptable.

    A. 1. First check the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol


    2. Increase the Size of Logical Volume: lvextend -L+121M /dev/vo/myvol
    3. Make Available the size on online: resize2fs /dev/vo/myvol
    4. Verify the Size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol
    5. Verify that the size comes in online or not: df -h
    We can extend the size of logical Volume using the lvextend command. As well as to decrease
    the size of Logical Volume, use the lvresize command. In LVM v2 we can extend the size of
    Logical Volume without unmount as well as we can bring the actual size of Logical Volume on
    online using ext2online command.

    QUESTION: 8
    CORRECT TEXT
    Quota is implemented on /data but not working properly. Find out the Problem and implement
    the quota to user1 to have a soft limit 60 inodes (files) and hard limit of 70 inodes (files).

    A. Quotas are used to limit a user's or a group of users' ability to consume disk space. This
    prevents a small group of users from monopolizing disk capacity and potentially interfering with
    other users or the entire system. Disk quotas are commonly used by ISPs, by Web hosting
    companies, on FTP sites, and on corporate file servers to ensure continued availability of their
    systems. Without quotas, one or more users can upload files on an FTP server to the point of
    filling a filesystem. Once the affected partition is full, other users are effectively denied upload
    access to the disk. This is also a reason to mount different filesystem directories on different
    partitions. For example, if you only had partitions for your root (/) directory and swap space,
    someone uploading to your computer could fill up all of the space in your root directory (/).
    Without at least a little free space in the root directory (/), your system could become unstable or
    even crash. You have two ways to set quotas for users. You can limit users by inodes or by
    kilobyte-sized disk blocks. Every Linux file requires an inode. Therefore, you can limit users by
    the number of files or by absolute space. You can set up different quotas for different
    filesystems. For example, you can set different quotas for users on the /home and /tmp
    directories if they are mounted on their own partitions.
    Limits on disk blocks restrict the amount of disk space available to a user on your system. Older
    versions of Red Hat Linux included LinuxConf, which included a graphical tool to configure
