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

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
