Q4. CORRECT TEXT
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:
* Physical Volume (PV) is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a RAID array.
* Physical Extent (PE) is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups can have different sized PEs.
* Logical Extent (LE) is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.
* Logical Volume (LV) is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a filesystem such as /home and /var on an LV.
* Volume Group (VG) is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.
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. resize2fs /dev/vg0/lv1 à to bring extended size online.
5. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df -h command.

You are a System administrator. Using Log files very easy to monitor the system. Now there are 50 servers running as Mail, Web, Proxy, DNS services etc. You want to centralize the logs from all servers into on LOG Server. How will you configure the LOG Server to accept logs from remote host ?
Answer and Explanation:
By Default system accept the logs only generated from local host. To accept the Log from other host configure:
1. vi /etc/sysconfig/syslog
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"
Where
-m 0 disables 'MARK' messages.
-r enables logging from remote machines
-x disables DNS lookups on messages recieved with -r
2. service syslog restart

Q9. CORRECT TEXT
One NIS Domain named rhce.com is configured in your lab, server is 192.168.0.254. rhce100, rhce200,rhce300 user are created on domain server.
Make your system as a member of rhce.com domain. Make sure that when nis user login in your system home directory should get by them. Home directory is separately shared on server eg /home/stationx/ where x is you station number.
Answer and Explanation:
1. use the authconfig --nisserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=rhce.com --update or system-configauthentication
2. Click on Enable NIS
3. Type the NIS Domain: rhce.com
4. Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok
5. You will get a ok message.
6. vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file
/home/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60
7. vi /etc/auto.home and write
* -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/home/stationx/&
Note: please specify your station number in the place of x.
8. Service autofs restart
9. Login as the rhce1 or rhce2 or rhce3 on another terminal will be Success.
According to question, rhce.com domain is already configured. We have to make a client of rhce.com domain and automatically mount the home directory on every client. To make a member of domain, we use the autheconfig or system-config-authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to configure the DNS, we should specify the NIS server address.
Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically mount. The automount service reads the configuration from /etc/auto.master file.
On /etc/auto.master file we specified the mount point the configuration file for mount point.

Boot your System Successfully on runlevel 3. (Next Question)
Answer and Explanation:
This is boot related problem. There will be same questions repeated two times but problem is different.
First When you restart the system you will get the Error:
File Not Found
mount: error 15 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev/: 2
Kernel Panic: no syncing: Attempted to kill init !
Restart the System
Check the grub boot loader configuration by pressing e shortcut key.
You will see like:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root= / rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img
OR
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/root rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img
Then Edit Boot loader to make like
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img
Check all lines and edit as same as above. Press b to boot the system
After booting the system you should correct the /etc/grub.conf file.
If still you are getting Error like File not found, it seems that either kernel file or initrd file is missing.
To troubleshoot with these problem, boot the system on rescue mode.
i. linux rescue
ii. chroot /mnt/sysimage
iii. Check the files on /boot, if not available install the kernel package from ftp or nfs server
iv. Create the initrd image file on boot using: mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img `uname -r`

Q12. CORRECT TEXT
You have ftp site named ftp.example.com. You want to deny login as an anonymous on your ftp site. Configure to deny the anonymous.
Answer and Explanation:
1. vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
anonymous_enable=no
2. service vsftpd restart
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file is used to allow or deny to anonymous or real user. To allow anonymous anonymous_enable=yes should be there. Sample configuration is like.
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
anonymous_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
#
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
connect_from_port_20=YES
#
# If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
# a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
# recommended!
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#
# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
# below.
#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
#
# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format
xferlog_std_format=YES
#
# You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.
#idle_session_timeout=600
#
# You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.
#data_connection_timeout=120
#
# It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
# ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#
# Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
# recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
# however, may confuse older FTP clients.
#async_abor_enable=YES
#
# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
# the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
# Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties
# to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in
# ASCII mode.
# These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish
# to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking),
# without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be
# on the client anyway..
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#
# You may fully customise the login banner string:
#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
#chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#
# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
#enable for standalone mode
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES

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.
Answer and Explanation:
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.
