Description: Lab: Accessing Network-Attached Storage (ch09s05)

This lab works up until the point where you try to test it as the users listed in the Important information. As with the previous guided exercise (Guided Exercise: Automounting Network-Attached Storage - ch09s04), it's clear that the developer simply manipulated text for the sample output rather than copying actual output.

Here are some things that are wrong:
1. Decide if you are using sudo or su to switch to the users. The sample commands show using su, but the password prompt is for sudo. Keep in mind that the password prompt for sudo prompts for the password for the user running the sudo command (student) not the password of the user you are becoming (manager1, dbuser1, or contractor1). Please go through this step and copy the correct output. I would suggest using sudo to be consistent with the rest of the course so far.

2. The actual user & group information on servera and serverb doesn't match the information in the Important information section and isn't the same across the two machines.

• servera has the following groups: managers (1100), production (1200), and operation (1300). I believe that the operation group should be called operators. The users listed in the Important information are mapped correctly, with the exception that operation should be operators.

• serverb has the following groups: operators (1100), production (1200), and operation (1300). The production users are mapped correctly, but there are issues with operators and operation. To match with servera, group 1100 should be managers. Currently, serverb doesn't have the users manager1 or manager2. If group 1100 is renamed to managers on serverb, then group 1300 could be renamed to operators.

3. On serverb /shares/management (and Welcome.txt) are both group owned by root. They should be group owned by group 1100 (which should be renamed to managers).
