Lab 2 - Permissions and Software Management

Expectations

Labs in this class are built to encourage creativity and problem-solving abilities. Thus, the instructions provided in these labs will generally not be comprehensive. This is to better mimic the real world, where documentation on how to complete a desired task may be sparse or even nonexistent. Students are encouraged to use external resources to complete these labs. However, do not hesitate to ask me for help. I will always be willing to provide more information as needed.

Objectives

  • Install a GUI of your choice onto your Ubuntu server
  • Install and configure xrdp on your Ubuntu Server
  • Enable remote desktop into your Ubuntu server (Just like you did for SSH)
  • Install syslog-ng onto your Ubuntu
  • Configure OPNSense to send syslogs to your syslog server on Ubuntu
  • Become familiar with how file permissions work on Unix/Linux
