UBUNTU TRAINING DOCUMENT
PREPARED BY: RAM NATH (ALPHA DATA LLC)
Download Ubuntu.
Add a user
[1] If you'd like to add new user, Add like follows.
# add a new user "ubuntu"
ram@ubuntu:~$ sudo adduser ubuntu
[2] If you'd like to give privileges to a new user, Do like follows.
ram@:~$ sudo usermod -G sudo ubuntu
ram@ubuntu:~$ su - ubuntu
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo reboot
[sudo] password for ubuntu: # password for 'ubuntu'
Enable root Account:
The root Account in Ubuntu is disabled by default bcause his password is not set. But if you'd like to use root Account by some reason, it's possible to use like follows.
[1] The user account added during installation is set an administrative account with Sudo, so it's easy to get root account's shell like follows.
ram@ubuntu:~$ sudo -s
[sudo] password for ram: # own password
root@ubuntu:~# # switched
[2] Or it's possible to switch to root account with su command to set root account's password.
ram@ubuntu~$ sudo passwd root
ram@ubuntu:~$ su -
Password:# input root password
root@ubuntu:~#
The examples on this site shows as a root account. If you use Sudo, add "sudo" on the head of commands. It had better to limit user if you enable root account.
For using by Sudo, it's possible to limit to prohibit shells in sudoers config, refer to details about Sudo Settings.
[3] For limit to do su command, set like follows.
root@ubuntu:~# vi /etc/pam.d/su
# line 15: uncomment and add a group which is allow to do su command
auth required pam_wheel.so group=adm
root@ubuntu:~# usermod -G adm ubuntu
root@ubuntu:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces
# add these lines
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.30# IP address
network 10.0.0.0# network address
netmask 255.255.255.0# subnet mask
broadcast 10.0.0.255# broadcast address
gateway 10.0.0.1# default gateway
dns-nameservers 10.0.0.10# name server
root@ubuntu:~# ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
Disable IPv6:
root@ubuntu:~# echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
root@ubuntu:~# sysctl -p
Configure Services
Configure Services (Upstart and SysVinit)
UPSTART:
The one with "start/running" is executed when booting the system.
root@ubuntu:~# initctl list
mountnfs-bootclean.sh start/running
rsyslog start/running, process 689
tty4 start/running, process 1090
udev start/running, process 531
upstart-udev-bridge start/running, process 520
[2] For Upstart one, the configuration file is under "/etc/init". Jobs are controled by them.
For example, if you'd like to stop "atd" and disable autostart, set like follows.
root@ubuntu:~# initctl stop atd
atd stop/waiting
root@ubuntu:~# vi /etc/init/atd.conf
# Comment out
# start on runlevel [2345]
[3] It's possible to know jobs like follows which are executed when booting. And also it's possible to know the meanings for "start on ***" with "man upstart-events".
root@ubuntu:~# grep "start on" /etc/init/*
/etc/init/acpid.conf:start on runlevel [2345]
/etc/init/apport.conf:start on runlevel [2345]
/etc/init/atd.conf:#start on runlevel [2345]
root@ubuntu:~# man upstart-events
Table 1: Well-Known System Events Summary.
[4] For SysVinit one, for example, NTP, it's easy to manage them to install a tool like follows.
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude -y install sysv-rc-conf
root@ubuntu:~# sysv-rc-conf --list # list services
root@ubuntu:~# sysv-rc-conf ntp on # set auto-start for NTP
root@ubuntu:~# sysv-rc-conf ntp off # disable auto-start for NTP
Update System:
Run Aptitude repository update:
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude update
Run update the system
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude -y upgrade
Configuring SUDO
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude install sudo -y
To edit sudoers file, we use:
root@ubuntu:~# visudo
To give specific command permissions to certain user:
You can then give a specific user privileges to those commands like so:
The logs for sudo are kept in '/var/log/auth.log', but there are many kind of logs in it. So if you'd like to keep only sudo's log in a file, Set like follows:
root@ubuntu:~#visudo
--
# add at the last
Defaults syslog=local1
--
root@ubuntu:~# vi /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
# line 8: add
local1.* /var/log/sudo.log
auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
root@ubuntu:~# initctl restart rsyslog
Install NTPd and Configure NTP server for time adjustment. NTP uses 123/UDP
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude -y install ntp
Comment-out existing servers and Add below servers as NTP servers:
vi /etc/ntp.conf
#server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
#server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
#server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
#server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
3.asia.pool.ntp.org (128.199.219.72)
2.asia.pool.ntp.org (157.7.208.12)
1.asia.pool.ntp.org (45.118.133.241)
# line 48: add the network range you allow to receive requests
restrict 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap
#service ntp restart
#ntpq -p #to check
You can also use crony as an alternative (to ntp).
Client also check /etc/ntp.cong for server. You need to specify the at Client side:
vi /etc/ntp.conf
server
To Update time instantly:
ntpdate
SSH server configuration:
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude install openssh-server -y
You can change below configuration for root direct login (enable/disable)
root@ubuntu:~# grep -i root /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin without-password
Install ssh Client :
root@ubuntu:~# aptitude -y install openssh-client
To ssh to a remote machine, use:
#ssh -l
Transferring a file:
root@ubuntu:~# scp ram@ubuntu:/tmp/test /var/tmp/test
ram@ubuntu's password:
test 100% 245 0.2KB/s 00:00
ram@ubuntu's password:
Connected to ubuntu.
Fetching /tmp/test to /var/tmp/test
/tmp/test 100% 245 0.2KB/s 00:00
root@ubuntu:~# sftp ram@ubuntu
ram@ubuntu's password:
Connected to ubuntu.
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /home/ram
When using Windows, use WINSCP to connect to the ssh server and transfer files
SSH KEY-PAIR AUTHENTICATION
ram@ubuntu:~$ ssh-keygen #optionally you can use rsa or dsa using type (-t) option
ram@ubuntu:~$ ls .ssh
id_rsa id_rsa.pub
ram@ubuntu:~$ ssh-copy-id 192.168.171.171 #ssh Client IP
And now, you have password less access to ssh-server. If you set "PasswordAuthentication no", it's more secure.
ram@ubuntu:~$ grep PasswordAuthentication /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#PasswordAuthentication yes
root@ubuntu:~# initctl restart ssh
ssh start/running, process 2637
Windows ssh client putty:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
DNS FILES
/etc/resolv.conf # File where you specify DNS SERVER INFO
/etc/hosts #File acts as local dns resolver
/etc/nsswitch.conf #File to specify which dns (file or server ) gets resolve priority
