RH442: Exam Objectives

1. use utilities such as vmstat,iostat,mpstat,sar, gnome-system-monitor, top, powertop and others to analyze and report system and application behavior
2. configure systems to provide performance metrics using utilities such as RRDtool
3. use the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) mechanism to implement restrictions on critical system resources
4. use /proc/sys, sysctl and /sys to examine and modify and set kernel run-time parameters
5. use utilities such as dmesg, dmidecode, x86info, sosreport etc. to profile system hardware configurations
6. analyze system and application behavior using tools such as ps, strace, top and Valgrind
7. configure systems to run SystemTap scripts
8. alter process priorities of both new and existing processes
9. configure systems to support alternate page sizes for applications that use large amounts of memory
10. given multiple versions of applications that perform the same or similar tasks, choose which version of the application to run on a system based on its observed performance characteristics
11. configure disk subsystems for optimal performance using mechanisms such as swap partition placement, I/O scheduling algorithm selection, file system layout and others
12. configure kernel behavior by altering module parameters
13. calculate network buffer sizes based on known quantities such as bandwidth and round-trip time and set system buffer sizes based on those calculations
14. select and configure tuned profiles.
15. manage system resource usage using control groups

EX333: Objectives

this one is going to be a bloodbath:

Components of the exam

The Enterprise Security: Network Services Expertise Exam is organized into two sections:

    Centralized Authentication Security: 3.0 hours
    Network Service Security: 3.0 hours

and the objectives:

Centralized authentication security

    Configure an NIS server to provide directory services.
    Configure Kerberos to provide user authentication.
    Configure NFSv4 server.
    Configure a network client to use NIS for directory information.
    Configure a network client to use Kerberos for authentication.
    Configure a network client to mount an NFSv4 export.
    Configure r-clients (rlogin, rcp, etc.) and telnet to use Kerberos.

Network Services Security

    Use xinetd and TCP wrappers to restrict access to network services.
    Configure Postfix and Sendmail to:
        Filter mail based on message characteristics.
        Use TLS for secure communication.
        Use the Real-time Blackhole List (RBL) via DNS.
    Configure POP/IMAP to use SSL/TLS for secure communication
    Configure the following aspects of DNS:
        Master domain
        Slave domain
        Views
        Forwarders
        Blackhole lists (RBL)
        TSIG
    Use GPG tools to:
        Generate key pairs.
        Sign documents.
        Encrypt documents.
        Decrypt documents.
        Verify document signatures.
    Configure a certificate authority (CA) and sign certificate requests
    Configure httpd to use an SSL certificate signed by a certifying authority.
    Configure httpd to use passwords and/or network location to restrict access 
    to content.
    Configure FTP security to:
        Support FTP only users.
        Implement host-based access restrictions.
