Linux System Administration is a comprehensive hands-on course that teaches students how to install, configure and maintain an Enterprise Linux system in a networked environment. This lab-intensive class explores core administrative tasks such as: creating and managing users, creating and maintaining file systems, determining and implementing security measures and performing software installation and package management. Linux networking topics include installing and supporting SSH, NFS, Samba and the Apache Web server. Students will explore common security issues, as well as several tools, such as the PAM modules that help secure the operating system and network environment. Although the course includes installing and configuring a CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 Linux system, much of the course content also applies to Oracle, Ubuntu, Scientific and other current versions of mainstream Linux distributions.
