RHCSA RHEL 8 - Using AutoFS with NFS

[@fatmacdacat]

Mate, I cant thank you enough for this video. This made autofs clearer than a sunny day in Torridon. Many thanks. Cheers

[@compsecgadgets]

No problem 👍

[@gangstar12031212]

Your videos are easy to understand. Thanks 😊

[@compsecgadgets]

Glad to help!

Sir, After I restart the autofs service and enable it I am no longer able to su into my user account. I have created quite a few virtual machines and this happened for everyone I made.

[@chunkauwong2097]

Great JOB! I think your tutorial on RHCSA is the most specific and concise out there! I hope I can pass with your help@@. One question, for mounting nfs through /etc/fstab, I have read from some other books that _netdev is needed instead of defaults, but I am not sure.

[@compsecgadgets]

I had a quick look around and on the offical Red Hat website it doesn't request it: www.redhat.com/sysadmin/nfs-server-client. Hope that helps!

[@gangstar12031212]

You need defaults. _netdev In fstab so that nfs starts after networkin

[@antoniocontreras7559]

is that for loop really necessary? cant you just do chown -r user1:user1 on the directory?

[@engzaz]

Thanks!

[@compsecgadgets]

Thank you very much 😊

great work thank you very much

Whats the difference between configuring from /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.master/home.autofs And I understand what the for loop accomplished, I just don't get why, don't all previous files automatically get matched to the new UID assigned to the username ?

[@compsecgadgets]

No difference between the two it's just a cleaner way to manage things. Usermod doesn't handle the UID change for your files so you'll need to for loop to update the UID on your files.

[@UnknownSend3r]

@@compsecgadgets so glad that's the case, it was driving me nuts trynna figure out what was the difference. And I guess the for loop makes perfect sense now.

Hi, I recently took the RHCSA8 exam and there was a question which asked me to configure autofs and also I was given a password. I don't know what to do with the server's password while configuring autofs. Can you please explain me if there is any use of server's password while configuring autofs.

[@compsecgadgets]

If its asking for a password you can specify it like in the mount definition with an extra option: ,credentials=/etc/filename.txt where filename.txt contains the following: username=user1 password=Password123!

[@ha7763]

Is the long for command necessary ?

i really liked the way that u thing and how u user for in CMD and i love know what's ur secret XD any recommendation for me as resources to be a bit as good as u r plz

[@sw3ettouch]

Why do you use dnf and not yum?

[@compsecgadgets]

Dnf is the future replacement for yum, recommended using that going foward

[@ravikumarcherry3917]

@@compsecgadgets thanks I also go it about dnf

can you help me on the steps on how to address this question Debug SELinux - configure and troubleshoot httpd server - site must be able access by end user (servera:82)

[@serhatelmas9038]

I explain. Step 1: First, set the port number /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. You'll see "Listen 80" in httpd.conf file and set to 82 via editor. Step2: run command as root: # semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 82 # firewall-cmd --add-port=82/tcp --permanent # firewall-cmd --reload # systemctl restart httpd.service

[@ronaldo.7422]

I wonder, how you are able to run AutoFS without the nfs-utils-package.... ;-) This cannot work!

[@compsecgadgets]

Please read the video description, we already set up the nfs-utils as part of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4Sqi316esuJiKs

[@venom21wow]

what is the question tho that rhcsa asks?

[@compsecgadgets]

I cannot give specifics, sorry.

[@austinharvard1360]

@@compsecgadgets it doesnt have to be specifics. Just a sample that is relatable

[@igorzamorski4328]

Is this nee subject?

[@compsecgadgets]

Yeah I think so I've not seen it mentioned anywhere but happened to see it mentioned under another one of the subjects on Reddit..
