Student ID
You can put any integer number here to generate different exercises for practice. However you must submit the activity associated with your ID number to D2L in order to receive credit for the activity.
User Account Management
- Take a screenshot of these instructions (including your student number) and the file/folder structure below. If you cannot get everything into the screenshot it is okay, just take your ID number and whatever fits on the screen.
- If you have not completed the previous activity, you must do this now!
- Use the grep command to show the lines of the /etc/passwd file that correspond to the users you were asked to create in the previous activity. Take a screenshot of the command and the output.
- Use the grep command to show the auth.log file where each of your users (from the previous activity) did a login. Take a screenshot of the command and the output.
- Use the deluser command without the --remove-home command to remove one user from the previous activity. Remove the user's home folder. Take a screenshot of the two commands.
- Use the deluser with --remove-home command to remove the other 3 users from the previous activity. Use the "ls" command to show that the users' home folders have been completely delted (i.e. show the /home folder). Take a screenshot of the deluser commands and the result of the ls command.
Submission of Work
The daily exercises in this course are based on proving that you have successfully completed the tasks. This is done by determining which command(s) are necessary and collecting a screenshot of the completed work.
For each day, you will submit a PDF file to D2L by 11:30pm. The format MUST BE PDF! Submitting work in any other format will result in a zero. The dropbox closes promptly at 11:30pm and no late submissions by email will be accepted. No special arrangements will be made for any reason. A small number of daily activities will excused at the end of the semester to handle various problems that might arise.
Questions/parts must be clearly labelled. Work submitted without labels will not receive full marks.
