Final Project - Examples n n n Automation q Kick-start install q Package management/update Scripting q Web front-end of user account management Network q Web cache performance enhancement using multiple network interfaces Security q How to setup a secure network? Misc q Asterisk PBX (http: //www. asterisk. org/) q Linux PVR (http: //www. mythtv. org/)

Final Project - More Examples n System Automation q n Scripting q q n If any server is down, can you setup an identical server within a few minutes? Web front-end for email filter or SPAM filter setup Improved lockdown script System Health Monitor System q q Uses crontab or an agent to collect statistics of your system, such as uptime, load, # of processes, tx/rx bytes. . Implement a web frond-end to display those info

Final Project - More Examples n Visualization q q Instead of displaying number, display graph instead Graph the topology of a given network n Fault Tolerant System n Hot-standby and fail-over if primary system fails Load balance q q q n NX server and preserve login session Something better than round-robin DNS Backup q q Incremental backup system Snapshot-like implementation

Final Project - More Examples n System Security q q q n Authentication Integration between Linux and Windows q n LDAP Print Server q n Parse the log files for potential break-ins, attacks, etc. Tripwire re-implementation Write a tool that determines if any NIC of a group of machines are in promiscuous mode Write a script to filter out non-PS files before spooling the files File system Implementation q FUSE (http: //fuse. sourceforge. net/)

Final Project - More Examples n n Cluster Management q Torque (resource manager) & Maui (cluster scheduler) q http: //www. clusterresources. com/ TCP q q n TCP speed-up, Read http: //www. cs. ucsd. edu/~savage/papers/CCR 99. pdf Any other topics related to Unix System Administration! q http: //sourceforge. net/search/? words=system+ad ministration

A Minimal Project n n Find a software related to system admin. Install and play with it Identify a couple of it’s weaknesses Improve the weaknesses by: q q Hack the code Add new scripts
