File Directory
r --> To display contents of a file. To list contents of a dir.(Read only)
w --> To create or append a file. To create file’s & directories.(Read & Write)
x --> To execute a file. To execute to a directory.
File Permition Mode.
Permitions
1) Symbolic mode -- rwx
2) Absolute mode -- 421
*Defoults file permition.
1) When a file created with the help of cat, touch, vi will get the permissions as 644.
EX.--> - rw- r-- r--
2)Actually in the basic UNIX system when a file is created it gets the permission as 666.
3)But this lapses in security, so when ever a file is created in UNIX system it masks some
bits,with a mask value of 022.
4)After masking we get the default value of a file as
644. [666 – 022 = 644]
5) 022 is as the UMASK value.
*Default directory permitions.
1)When a directory is created with the help of mkdir will get the permissions as 755.
d rwx r-x r-x
2)Actually in the basic UNIX system when a directory is created it gets the permission as 777.
But this lapses in security,so whenever a directory is created in UNIX system it masks some
bits,with a mask value of 022.
3)After masking we get the default value of a file as
777. [777 – 022 = 755]
4)022 is as the UMASK value.

###################### SUID. #############################
1)SUID stands for Set User ID.
2)SUID allows applications to run by normal user with privileges of root user.
3)That means in case I have an application (eg.ping) whose owner is 'root' and it has its SUID bit
set, then when I run this application as a normal user, that application would still run as root.
4)By default the SUID will be applied on ping so that the normal users will also can ping to other
systems.
Implement SUID.
1)Impliment the SUID on ping.

Disk Managment (Partitioning)
1) Partition is a part of hard disk which is to be utilized for a different
cause than it's neighbouring partition.
2) Partition is "Hardware" since it comes from a hard disk which is a
hardware . Basically anything can be holded in hands is a hardware
, and as hard disk could be , hard disk and hence partition is a h/w.
3) Partitions could be further subdidvided into two types -:
i) Primary Partitions -> It is an actual partition which can be given a
label and can be used for some purpose. There can be max 4 primary
partitions on a hard disk ( limitations of BIOS which was first
inroduced by IBM and all other personal computers are it's clones.
ii) Extended Partition -> This is ideally not a partition but a concept
that can be further divided into logical partitions which can be
further given labels and used for some purpose.
4) Only 1 extended partition can be created from a hard disk which can be
further sub divided to 64 logical volumes ( partitions ) . Windows
allows only 21 logical partitions.
Max. Number of logical volumes also depends on motherboard . In some
cases only 16 logical volumes are allowed from an extended partition.
5) Windows can oly be installed on an primary , active partition.
6) Drive in Windows = Filesystem in Linux
7) Normally the important directories which if filled could hamper the
functioning of system are made a totally different filesystem on a
different partition in linux.
Normally , the various directories which are given different partitions
are /boot , / , /home , /tmp , /var , /usr .
For eg. -> /home is the directory in which all users have their home
directories , if there is no quota policy for users in place , in
case they dump more and more data in their home directories and if
/home is not in another partition , all data will be going into the
"/" directory and ultimately it gets filled up . This will make the
system slow and ultimately system may hang and will give problems
later while booting.Even the root user will not be able to login
because his home directory ( /root ) is in / directory which is
already full.
To slove above problem , root user can login from linux rescue mode
and try to do the cleanup.
8) 'df' is command used to see all filesystems present on the system and
being used by linux kernel and their current usage.
df -h gives the output in human readable form ( in MB's )
For eg. -> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 950M 116M 786M 13% /
/dev/hda6 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot
none 109M 0 109M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda10 950M 17M 885M 2% /tmp
/dev/hda12 8.3G 4.5G 3.5G 57% /usr
/dev/hda11 950M 263M 639M 30% /var
/dev/vg/lv 465M 8.1M 433M 2% /home
9) Minimum 3 partitions required for a successful installation
/boot , / , swap
10) 7 Partitions required for a successful and efficient linux installation
/boot , / , /home , swap , /tmp , /var , /usr
11) For getting an optimum performance from a system , no partition should
be filled more than 82% of it's size.
12) Partition can be done in order to use the free space, to install
multiple OS, to format HDD with multiple file systems etc
13) LOGICAL FILE SYSTEM:
for windows - FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS
Linux - ext2 and ext3

How to Partitioning,Formating & Mounting.
How to create swap partition?
1. To view partition table
# fdisk -l
2.To create new partition
# fdisk
Suppose we have created /dev/hda9 partition.
3.To update partition table to kernel without rebooting
# partprobe
4.To format partition table with file system ext2 and ext3
# mkfs.ext2
# mkfs.ext3
eg.
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda9
5.To mount partition table on mount point(on created directory)
# mount
eg.
# mount /dev/hda9 /linux
MOUNTING : Means creating a link between physical and logical file system
in order to access partitions through mount point.
6.To umount partition
# umount
eg.
# umount /linux
7.To mouint file system permentatly # vi /etc/fstab
/dev/hda9 /linux ext3 defaults 0 0
8.Convertiting file system from ext2 -> ext3
# tune2fs -j
eg.
# tune2fs -j /dev/hda9
9.Converting file system from ext3 -> ext2
# tune2fs -O^has_journal
eg.
# tune2fs -O^has_journal /dev/hda9
10.To assign a lable
# e2lable
eg.
# e2lable /dev/hda9 /songs
11.To view existion lable
# e2lable
eg.
# e2lable /dev/hda9
/songs
================= SWAP PARTITION ===============
We create a swap partition for a support to ram. In case If ram is a full that time
the swap partition is active.
12.TO make partition a swap partition
# mkswap
13. To enable swap partition
# swapon /dev/hda9
14.To view status of swap partition
# swapon -s
15.To disable partition
# swapoff

LVM
1. Logical Volume Manager is the esier way to manage hard disk by resizing
logical volumes.
2. The LVM2 packge is used for kernel 2.6.
3. In LVM structure there are three levels of organisation :-
physical volume - volume group - logical volume
4. Linux LVM partition has 8e code.
5. The physical partitions i.e. physical volumes turns into volume groups
that then turns into logical volumes.
This logical volumes are assigned mount points and file system types
like ext2, ext3.
When "partitions" reach their full capacity, free space from the volume
group can be added to the logical volume to increase the size of the
partition. When a new hard drive is added to the system, it can be added
to the volume group,and partitions that are logical volumes can be
increased in size.

Yum Configuretion
Why to use YUM ? Why not RPM ?
The rpm command-line utility has many functions for working with
individual RPM packages. You may use it to manually install and remove packages from your system. If you install software with the rpm utility, you must
manually check and install any dependencies. For this reason, pirut and yum are the recommended methods for installing software.
#####################################################
What YUM does ?
Use the yum utility to modify the software on your system in four ways:
· To install new software from package repositories
· To install new software from an individual package file
· To update existing software on your system
· To remove unwanted software from your system

IPTABLES (Firewall)
###################### IPTABLES ########################
*NATING = network address translation.
*PATING = port address translation.
*What is Routing
ANS :- forwarding the packet from 1 interface to another interface.
Postrouting - After routing change the source ip address.
To hide the internel network (Dnat).
Prerouting - Before routing change the destination ip address.(Snat)
INPUT Chain - To configure in filter tables.
Targets --> ACCEPT,DROP,REJECT.
drop - no acknoledgement
reject - get acknoledgement.
icmp - internet control messege protocol.
