There are Mail servers, Web Servers, DNS Servers and Log Server. Log Server is already configured. You should configure the mail server, web server and dns server to send the logs to log server.
Answer and Explanation:
According to question, log server is already configured. We have to configure the mail, web and dns server for log redirection.
In mail, web and dns server:
1.vi /etc/syslog.conf
mail.*@logserveraddress
2.service syslog restart
mail is the facility and * means the priority. It sends logs of mail services into log server.

Create the user named eric but eric should not belong to the sysadmin group.
Answer and Explanation:
1.useradd eric
Very tricky question given to you that this user should not belongs to sysadmin group.
Make Secondary belongs the jeff and marion users on sysusers group. But harold user should not belongs to sysusers group.
Answer and Explanation:
1.usermod -G sysusers jeff
2.usermod –G sysuser marion
3.Verify by reading /etc/group file
Using usermod command we can make user belongs to different group. There are two types of group one primary and another is secondary. Primary group can be only one but user can belongs to more than one group as secondary.
usermod -g groupname username To change the primary group of the user
usermod -G groupname username To make user belongs to secondary group.
There are more then 400 Computers in your Office. You are appointed as a System Administrator. But you don’t have Router. So, you are going to use your One Linux Server as a Router. How will you enable IP packets forward?
Answer and Explanation:
1. /proc is the virtual filesystem, we use /proc to modify the kernel parameters at running time.
# echo “1” >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
2. /etc/sysctl.conf when System Reboot on next time, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. To enable the IP forwarding on next reboot also you need to set the parameter.
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Here 0 means disable, 1 means enable.
One Logical Volume named lv1 is created under vg0. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 100MB. Now you required the size 500MB. Make successfully the size of that Logical Volume 500M without losing any data. As well as size should be increased online.
Answer and Explanation:
The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal-sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic definitions:
1. Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1
2. Verify the Size on mounted directory: df –h or df –h mounted directory name
3. Use : lvextend –L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1
4. ext2online –d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online.
5. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df –h command.
Who ever creates the files/directories on /archive group owner should be automatically should be the same group owner of /archive.
Answer and Explanation:
1.chmod g+s /archive
2.Verify using: ls -ld /archive

There are three Disk Partitions /dev/hda8, /dev/hda9, /dev/hda10 having size 100MB of each partition. Create a Logical Volume named testvolume1 and testvolume2 having a size 250MB. Mount each Logical Volume on lvmtest1, lvmtest2 directory.
Answer and Explanation:
Steps of Creating LVM:
1.pvcreate /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10
pvdisplay command is used to display the information of physical volume.
2.vgceate test0 /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10
vgdisplay command is used to display the information of Volume Group.
3.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume1 test0
lvdisplay command is used to display the information of Logical Volume.
4.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume2 test0
5.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume1
6.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume2
7.mkdir /lvtest1
8.mkdir /lvtest2
9.mount /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1
10.mount /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2
11.vi /etc/fstab
/dev/test0/testvolume2/lvtest2ext3defaults0 0
/dev/test0/testvolume1/lvtest1ext3defaults0 0
To create the LVM( Logical Volume Manager) we required the disks having ‘8e’ Linux LVM type. First we should create the physical Volume, then we can create the Volume group from disks belongs to physical Volume. lvcreate command is used to create the logical volume on volume group. We can specify the size of logical volume with –L option and name with -n option.
