RHCSA Exam Experience – AKA What I did to pass the exam
As a twitter friend requested me to wrrite this post more than once I finally managed to put aside some spare time to write it hoping that it will help all people out there that are preparing for the RHCSA exam or plan to do it and are not sure how to approach it or how difficult it is.
First of all please keep in mind that I will be covering only RHCSA exam in this post as that is the one I’ve taken, one month ago, as RedHat in Switzerland does not offer the combined “2 exams in 1 day” package hence I’ve been forced to split them as I don’t have the time to travel to Italy or Germany to give both exams in the same day. I’ve booked my exam for next April once I’ve been through it (again) I will write about RHCE experience as well. Read more…

Q: I’ve accidentally modified the SELinux context for a file or directory and now my application is not working any more how canI restore the default context?

While most of the Linux servers I administer and run have no GUI installed sometimes it can be handy to administer a remote Linux workstation or server via a GUI, this is also an exam requirement for the the Red Hat Certified Systems Administration exam so let’s see how a VNC server is installed and configured under Linux.
Install VNC Server
The first step of setting up a VNC Server under Linux is of course that of installing the required packages, for RHEL and its rebuilt systems the process is pretty straightforward and quick and can be achieved with the following command : Read more…

*EDIT* As the Fedora project released an updated vsftpd package which fixes the described problem the article has become obsolete, I leave it in place just as a reference.
The default FTP server for the Fedora, and RHEL like distributions, is vsftpd which can be easily installed with the command :
yum install <u>vsftpd</u>
Vsftpd is a feature rich FTP server and up to today it served all my needs but the version that ships with Fedora 16 has still an unresolved bug that makes starting and stopping the service awkward and in any case not as described in the official Fedora documentation. Read more…

Michael Jang has been so kind to send me a free copy of his latest book, RCHSA/RHCE Study Guide 6th edition and I could not but write a small review after a few days with the book that I received before it was available in store. Before beginning the review I want to express, once again, my gratitude to the author for being so kind to send me a free copy of the book. Now if only Red Hat would send me a free voucher I could schedule the exam immediately and write a review of that as well
