The command line can be a daunting place no matter the operating system. In this course, LFCS Additional User and Group Management Topics, you’ll learn to effectively manage and administer Linux using LDAP directory services and extending the file mode with POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs). First, you’ll explore how you can make the file system permissions more flexible using ACLs. Next, you’ll learn how to configure and manage ACLs. Finally, you’ll discover the power of centralized user and group accounts using OpenLDAP. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Linux administration needed to deploy directory services and secure the file system.
