2007-12-25 11:05:00
Here are the response that I received (Q=Question,A=Response):
Q: do you have to kill all processes b4 doing backup?
A: single-user mode better for full backup
Q: how do you check the max # of users a machine can support (not the #
of user processes)?
A: sysdef -i
Q: how do you check the security attribute of each user?
A: -/etc/passwd, .cshrc, .login {the uname setting}
-type groups <user_name>
-umask
Q: how safe are TAR and CPIO for backup?
A: -use ufsdump (tar and cpio have limitations)
-ufsdump is used for doing full backups (faster)
-tar is used for dumping directory
-tar good
Q: how do you access the kernel file to modify certain parameters --
where is it located?
A: -add stuff in /etc/systems file
-in /etc/system, then REBOOT
-system.h and then RECOMPILE
SURVEY: I am interested in knowing if anyone have read this summary,
please send me an email so that I can see who actually read this.
Thanks again for your help!
