IT 3100 Systems Design and Administration I
Accounts and Permissions

Due : November 6, 2009

Assignment: 

Often computer systems are used by several different groups of users, with varying levels of cooperation between the groups. In this assignment you will gain experience in creating users and groups, and managing them.

Requirements :

  • Create user accounts.
  • Create user groups.
  • Add the users to groups.
  • Configure the file and account permissions.

Create user accounts:
For each of the virtual hosts you created on your web server, create at least 3 accounts that are developers for that web site. The users should have their own unique default group, independent of any other group membership.

Create user groups:
For each of the virtual hosts, create a new user group.

Add the users to groups:
For each of the new users, add them to the proper site group.

Configure the file and account permissions:
Configure each account and each document root for the best collaborative work while keeping the separate document roots hidden from the other group. Be sure to allow the web server acces to the web site data.

For each of the users (yes, that's 9 users), log in as the user, and add a document to the index to the web site. Update the index to include a link to the new document. Note that this means you will be adding 3 documents to each of the 3 sites.

Pass-off Procedure: 

  • Use the CIT submission system.
  • Submit a text file named web_account_info.txt. This file must be a plain text file, with the following format:
    ip:     ip address of web server
    site1:  fully qualified domain name of first web site
    site2:  fully qualified domain name of second web site
    site3:  fully qualified domain name of third web site
    users1: users,in,first,group
    users2: users,in,second,group
    users3: users,in,third,group
    group1: firstgroup
    group2: secondgroup
    group3: thirdgroup
