Guided Exercise: Managing Groups Using Command-line Tools

In this lab, you will add users to newly created supplementary groups.

Outcomes

The shakespeare group consists of juliet, romeo, and hamlet. The artists group contains reba, dolly, and elvis.

Perform the following steps on serverX unless directed otherwise.

Become the root user at the shell prompt.

[student@serverX ~]$ su -
Password: redhat

Create a supplementary group called shakespeare with a group ID of 30000.
```
[root@serverX ~]# groupadd -g 30000 shakespeare
```
Create a supplementary group called artists.
```
[root@serverX ~]# groupadd artists
```

Confirm that shakespeare and artists have been added by examining the /etc/group file.

[root@serverX ~]# tail -5 /etc/group
reba:x:1004:
dolly:x:1005:
elvis:x:1006:
shakespeare:x:30000:
artists:x:30001:

Add the juliet user to the shakespeare group as a supplementary group.
```
[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G shakespeare juliet
```

Confirm that juliet has been added using the id command.

[root@serverX ~]# id juliet
uid=1001(juliet) gid=1001(juliet) groups=1001(juliet),30000(shakespeare)

Continue adding the remaining users to groups as follows:

Add romeo and hamlet to the shakespeare group.

[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G shakespeare romeo
[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G shakespeare hamlet

Add reba, dolly, and elvis to the artists group.

[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G artists reba
[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G artists dolly
[root@serverX ~]# usermod -G artists elvis

Verify the supplemental group memberships by examining the /etc/group file.

[root@serverX ~]# tail -5 /etc/group
reba:x:1004:
dolly:x:1005:
elvis:x:1006:

16 sty 2024

Hello,I am trying to finish up Lab 3 of the Chapter 15 Comprehensive Review Labs in RH124, and when I type in sudo dnf install zsh for the 6th specification of the lab, I get an error message basically saying that it failed to download metadata for the repo 'ansible-2.9-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms', and that they could not download repomd.xml. It provided a 404 status code.Can someone please let me know what the problem is, and if there is a current workaround? Thanks.

19 lip 2023

The first of two courses covering the core system administration tasks needed to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux serversRed Hat System Administration I (RH124) is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux system administration experience. The course provides students with Linux administration competence by focusing on core administration tasks. This course also provides a foundation for students who plan to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command-line concepts and enterprise-level tools. This course is the first of a two-course series that takes a computer professional without Linux system administration knowledge to become a fully capable Linux administrator. These concepts are further developed in the follow-on course, Red Hat System Administration II (RH134).This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 9.0.Course content summaryIntroduce Linux and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ecosystem.Run commands and view shell environments.Manage, organize, and secure files.Manage users, groups and user security policies.Control and monitor systemd services.Configure remote access using the web console and SSH.Configure network interfaces and settings.Manage software using DNFAudience for this courseThe primary persona is a technical professional with current or pending responsibilities as a Linux enterprise or cloud system administrator.This course is popular in Red Hat Academy, and is targeted at the student who is planning to become a technical professional using Linux.Prerequisites for this courseBasic technical user skills with computer applications on some operating systems are expected.Take our free assessment to gauge whether this offering is the best fit for your skills.Technology considerationsThere are no special technical requirements for this course.This course is not designed for bring your own device (BYOD).Internet access is not required but is recommended so that students can research and browse Red Hat online resources.
