<h1>This Exam:</h1>
<p>These tasks are taken from the objectives Red Hat has publicly posted and should therefore approximate the type of tasks one might find on the RHCSA and RHCE exams. It is expressly NOT based on actual contents of actual Red Hat Exams.</p>
<p>For the most authentic experience, this sample exam should be undertaken in a "closed-book" manner – referring to nothing but what is on the system or contained on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation tree that will be made available to you. However, because this Sample Exam is intended in part as a learning experience in itself, should you get seriously stuck you may refer to the Study Guide, to online resources, or to assistance from the instructor. Recognize, though, that such a decision may indicate a need for additional preparation before undertaking the Red Hat Exam.</p>

<h1>RHCE Requirements</h1>
<p>Complete the following in approximately 2 hours:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">Ensure that both the Server and Client Virtual machines are obtaining their time from NTP. Your server virtual machine should obtain its time from <tt class="docutils literal">pool.ntp.org</tt> and from <tt class="docutils literal">192.168.5.200</tt>. Your client virtual machine should get its time from your server virtual machine.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">SSH connections should be allowed from throughout the <tt class="docutils literal">192.168.4.0/22</tt> network.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">For all other services, connections should be allowed from addresses within the trusted network (<tt class="docutils literal">192.168.5.0/24</tt>), but disallowed from <tt class="docutils literal">192.168.4.0/24</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure an SMTP server that allows connections from the trusted subnet.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Connect to the iSCSI target provided by the target portal at <tt class="docutils literal">192.168.5.200</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents/republicans</tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents/democrats</tt> to be shared via NFS to any system in the trusted subnet. Ensure that root privileges cannot be gained from a remote mount.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure an FTP server to allow anonymous downloads from <tt class="docutils literal">/var/ftp/pub</tt> and anonymous uploads to <tt class="docutils literal">/var/ftp/pub/inbound</tt> (create this directory and set permissions appropriately). Ensure that uploaded files cannot be viewed or downloaded without admin intervention.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure a Web server to serve the following vhosts:</p>
<blockquote>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>Access to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pres.s<x>server.linux-acc.local</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">serves an index page located in <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents/</tt></p>
</dd>
<dt>Access to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rep.s<x>server.linux-acc.local</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">serves an index page located in <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents/republicans/</tt></p>
</dd>
<dt>Access to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dem.s<x>server.linux-acc.local</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">serves an index page located in <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents/democrats/</tt></p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Use filesystem ACLs to resolve any permissions issues you encounter.</p>
<p>Place an index file in each of these locations that indicates which directory it is in and under which name it should be served out.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure Samba to share the <tt class="docutils literal">/share/presidents</tt> directory using a share name of presidents. Make it readable for <tt class="docutils literal">ford</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">carter</tt> and writable for <tt class="docutils literal">reagan</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">clinton</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Create a bash script that uses <tt class="docutils literal">top</tt> non-interactively to write 2 interations of its report to the file <tt class="docutils literal">/root/logs/top_report.txt</tt>. Configure a cron job that performs this task every 20 minutes.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Configure your Server VM to provide a caching DNS server and to allow queries from the trusted network. Configure your Client VM to obtain its DNS name resolution from your Server VM.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Tune the kernel behavior of your Server VM so that it will respond to broadcast pings (ICMP ECHO broadcasts). This must persist after a reboot.</p>
