Objectives
This tutorial is organized according to the specific objectives of the
LPI exam for this topic. This tutorial can help you study for
certification—or simply build a solid foundation in Linux system
administration.
Prerequisites
To get the most from this tutorial, you should have an advanced knowledge of
Linux and a working Linux system on which to practice the commands covered. If your fundamental Linux skills are a bit rusty, you may want to first review
the
tutorials for the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 exams.
System requirements
To follow along with the examples in these tutorials, you'll need a Linux
workstation with the OpenLDAP package and support for PAM. Most modern
distributions meet these requirements.
