Q21. CORRECT TEXT
Install the Redhat Linux RHEL 5 through NFS. Where your Server is server1.example.com having IP 172.24.254.254 and shared /var/ftp/pub. The size of the partitions are listed below:
/ à 1048
/home à 1028
/boot à 512
/var à 1028
/usr à 2048
Swap -> 1.5 of RAM Size
/data à configure the RAID Level 0 of remaining all free space.
After completing the installation through NFS solve the following questions. There are two networks 172.24.0.0/16 and 172.25.0.0/16. As well as there are two domains example.com on 172.24.0.0/16 network and cracker.org on 172.25.0.0/16 network. Your system is based on example.com domain. SELinux should be in enforcing mode.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Insert the CD on CD-ROM and start the system.

Configure the DHCP server by matching the following conditions:
Subnet and netmask should be 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0Gateway Should be 192.168.0.254DNS
Sever Should be 192.168.0.254Domain Name should be example.comRange from 192.168.0.10-50
Answer and Explanation:
1. vi /etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style none;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.50;
}
/etc/dhcpd.conf file is used to configure the DHCP. Some global options i.e Gateway,
domainname, DNS server specified using option keyword.
2. Check the SELinux Context, should be like this:
-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:dhcp_etc_t /etc/dhcpd.conf
3. If not use the restorecon -R /etc command to restore the selinux context of the file.
4. service dhcpd start | restart
Q25. CORRECT TEXT
Configure the Slave DNS for example.com domain where master DNS is 192.100.0.254.
Answer and Explanation:
Slave DNS is the backup of master DNS. Automatically within a certain time slave DNS synchronizes with the Master DNS server.
1. vi /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
zone "example.com" IN {
type slave;
masters { 192.100.0.254; };
file "example.com.zone";
};
named-checkconf command checks the syntax for /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf file.service named start | restart
Q26. CORRECT TEXT
Configure the send mail server for your local LAN. As well as the mail of user john should get by the jane user.
Answer and Explanation:
Here your Local LAN means your domain named example.com.
1. vi /etc/mail/local-host-names
example.com
2. vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
dnl # DEAMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA`)dnl
3. m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
4. vi /etc/mail/access
192.168.0 RELAY
5. service sendmail start | restart
6. chkconfig sendmail on
/etc/mail/local-host-names file contains the aliases to hostname. Mail server program reads the
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf. To change the configuration on mail server, we should edit the
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and should generate the sendmail.cf using m4 command.
By default sendmail server allows to connect to local host only. So we should edit the
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc file to allow connect to other hosts.
By default sendmail server will not forward mail. we should specify on /etc/mail/access to relay or to block mail coming from domain or network or individual email address.
7. vi /etc/aliases
john: jane
8. newaliases
We can redirect the mail of one user to another user using /etc/aliases file. In example all mail of john goes to jane user.
Q27. CORRECT TEXT

You Completely Install the Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 on your System. While start the system, it's giving error to load X window System. How will you fix that problem and make boot successfully run X Window System.
Answer and Explanation:
Think while Problems occurred on booting System on Runlevel 5 (X Window)./tmp is full or notQuota is already reachedVideo card or resolution or monitor is misconfigured.xfs service is running or not.
Do These:
1. df -h /tmp à /tmp is full remove the unnecessary filequota username à if quota is already reached remove unnecessary file from home directory.Boot the System in runlevel 3.à you can pass the Kernel Argument from boot loader.Use command: system-config-display à It will display a dialog to configure the monitor, Video card, resolution etc.Set the Default Runlevel 5 in /etc/inittab id:5:initdefault:
6. Reboot the System you will get the GUI login Screen.
Q30. CORRECT TEXT
Boot your System Successfully on runlevel 3.
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:
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 !
This error occurred in your system before showing welcome redhat linux. That means problem in grub boot loader.
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.
