Aim
This course gives you practical knowledge to administrate a UNIX-like system. The course will cover the knowledge needed to work with system administration and will go in-depth on the most common services found in a network.
Course objectives
After completion of the course, the student shall be able to
- administrate and modify a UNIX-like system and its services,
- identify, implement and motivate a choice of services,
- explain how the start-up process works in a UNIX-like system,
- identify, analyse and solve problems that may arise.
Content
The course will cover the necessary knowledge to administer a UNIX-like system, such as fundamental commands used to navigate and work with the system, modify the operating systems kernel, configure and modify a boot loader and volume, process and user management.
Besides covering the knowledge needed to administer a UNIX-like system, the course also covers the most common services used on a network, such as CIFS, NFS, e-mail, DNSSEC, and firewalls.
