SAMBA (Domain Controller) Server For Small Workgroups With Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" - Page 3

2 Installing And Configuring The Rest Of The System

Enable root user

Now I can login with the username and password i entered above. First I enable the root user for ease of installation. You can disable it later if you want.

sudo passwd root
su

Now we are logged in as root user.

Configure The Network

Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Then restart your network:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Edit /etc/hosts and add your new IP address(es):

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       server1
192.168.0.100   server1.example.com     server1


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Setting The Hostname

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list And Update Your Linux Installation

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. It should look like this:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe

Then run

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Install SSH Daemon

apt-get install ssh openssh-server

The Next Steps...

Now you can login to your Server with an SSH Client like putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). Its easier to follow this howto if you connect to your server with putty and copy and paste the commands. If you want to edit config files on the server, you can use commandline editors like vi, pico or joe or use a program like WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) to edit the files over your SSH connection in a Windows client.

Quota

apt-get install quota

Edit /etc/fstab to look like this (I added ,usrquota,grpquota to the partitions with the mount point / and /home):

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#                
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0       1
/dev/sda1       /boot           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda4       /home            ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota        0       2
/dev/sda2       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

Then run:

touch /quota.user /quota.group
chmod 600 /quota.*
mount -o remount /
touch /home/quota.user /home/quota.group
chmod 600 /home/quota.*
mount -o remount /home
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug
