Introduction Congratulations on your choice to become a Certified Linux Engineer (CLE)! By purchasing this book, you are on your way to earning one of the hottest certifications around. Introduction Welcome to the world of Linux! As you will see in later chapters of this book, Novell has yet again revolutionized the Information Technology industry by providing one of the finest Linux distributions available: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9). By providing an inexpensive, yet highly stable and scalable network operating system, Novell has raised a standard that other vendors will be hard pressed to match. In accordance, Novell Training Services has rolled out a certification program for SLES 9: The Certified Linux Engineer 9 (CLE 9). Because of the complexity of the CLE 9 certification, Novell wants to make sure candidates really know their stuff with SLES 9. To do this, Novell has implemented a practical test for the certification. To pass, you must be able to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. By gaining your CLE 9 certification, you tell the world that you can actually manage an SLES 9 deployment, not just answer a bunch of questions about the product in a multiple-choice exam. This gives you a strong competitive edge in a tight job market. However, this hands-on approach to testing means the CLE 9 exam is much more difficult than most other certification exams you may have taken. The CLE 9 practical exam has a higher failure rate than most written IT certification exams. To pass, you must thoroughly prepare yourself. That's where this book comes in! By reading this book and completing the lab exercises, you will be much better prepared than the average CLE 9 candidate. In Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Certified Linux Engineer (CLE) Certification," I introduce you to the SLES 9 product and the CLE 9 certification program. I also provide you with some important exam tips and strategies that will increase your chances of passing. In Chapter 2, "Introduction to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9," you are introduced to the SLES 9 operating system. You learn how to install a SLES 9 server and review how to manage the system configuration. In Chapter 3, "Configuring DNS on SLES 9," you learn how to install and configure a BIND DNS server on your SLES 9 system. In Chapter 4, "Configuring DHCP on SLES 9," you learn how to configure the DHCP service on your SLES 9 system. In Chapter 5, "Configuring CUPS on SLES 9," you learn how to use CUPS to provide print services for your users. In Chapter 6, "Configuring File and Print Services for Windows Clients on SLES 9," you learn how Linux can cross over into the Windows world by providing domain authentication and file storage services for Windows workstations. In Chapter 7, "Implementing Email Services on SLES 9," you learn how to turn the simple Postfix daemon on your SLES 9 server into a full-fledged email solution with SMTP authentication and POP3/IMAP support. In Chapter 8, "Using SLES 9 to Manage Network Traffic," you learn how to deploy and use a wide range of network monitoring utilities on your SLES 9 system. These include ntop, Nagios, ethereal, tcpdump, and an SNMP agent. In Chapter 9, "Securing the SLES 9 Server," you are introduced into the wild world of network security. You learn steps you can take to secure your SLES server and learn how to use cryptography to secure services running on your server . This chapter also discusses network-related security issues as well as how to detect intruders who are trying to break into your system. In Chapter 10, "Implementing Packet Filter Firewalls with SLES 9," you learn how to secure your network from intruders using a variety of firewall technologies that can be implemented right on your SLES 9 server. In Chapter 11, "Implementing Virtual Private Networks with SLES 9," you learn how to implement WAN and remote access functionality over the Internet using VPNs. Finally, in Chapter 12, "Putting It All Together: Adding OpenSLP and Tomcat to Your Server," you learn how you can implement an automated system for locating services in the network with the Service Location Protocol (SLP). You also learn how to deploy a web application server with Tomcat. As you progress through this book, my goal is to provide you with a quality learning experience. I hope you find this book well written and easy to understand. I also hope you find it to be adequate preparation for your CLE 9 exam. However, no text is perfect. If you have suggestions for improvement, features you would like to see added, or corrections you believe need to be made, please feel free to email me at support@nebo-tech.com.
