RedHat Exam EX200 Topic 2 Question 74 Discussion

Actual exam question for RedHat's EX200 exam

Question #: 74
Topic #: 2

One Domain RHCE is configured in your lab, your domain server is server1.example.com. nisuser2001, nisuser2002, nisuser2003 user are created on your server 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/nisuser2001. Make sure that when NIS user login in your system automatically mount the home directory. Home directory is separately shared on server /rhome/stationx/ where x is your Station number.

AExplanation:
use the authconfig --nisserver=<NIS SERVER> --nisdomain=<NIS DOMAIN> -- update
Example: authconfig --niserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=RHCE --update or system-config-authentication
Click on Enable NIS
Type the NIS Domain: RHCE
Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok
You will get a ok message.
Create a Directory /rhome/stationx where x is your station number.
vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file /rhome/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60
vi /etc/auto.home and write
* -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/&
Note: please specify your station number in the place of x.
Service autofs restart
Login as the nisuser2001 or nisuser2002 on another terminal will be Success. According to question, RHCE domain is already configured. We have to make a client of RHCE domain and automatically mount the home directory on your system. To make a member of domain, we use the authconfig with option or system-config authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to configure the DNS, we should specify the NIS server address.
Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically mount. The automount service used the /etc/auto.master file. On
/etc/auto.master file we specified the mount point the configuration file for mount point.

Wait, did they just ask us to configure a domain and automount a home directory in one question? Jeez, these exam writers must be on a power trip or something. But hey, at least it'll be a good test of our Linux chops!

Alright, let's do this! The key here is to remember the right commands and configurations. Piece of cake, right? Now if only I could remember where I put my glasses...

Haha, the 'station x' part got me chuckling. What, are we back in the '90s with our dial-up modems? But seriously, this looks like a solid question that tests our understanding of NIS and automounting. Gotta love it when they throw in all those little nuances.

Ugh, why do they always make these questions so convoluted? It's like they want us to get lost in all the details. But I guess that's the whole point of a certification exam, right? Time to put on my thinking cap and make sense of this mess.

Whoa, that's a lot of info to take in! But I think I get the gist of it. NIS server, auto-mounting the home directory, and all that jazz. Sounds like a real brain-teaser, but I'm up for the challenge!

That's right. By following the steps provided, we can ensure that when NIS users login, their home directories are automatically mounted from the server.

Yes, we can use the authconfig command to specify the NIS server and domain, and then configure the auto.master and auto.home files for automounting.

I think we need to configure the NIS server and domain to automatically mount the home directory for NIS users.
