Although a fresh installation of Ubuntu is relatively safe for immediate use on the Internet, it is important to have a balanced understanding of your system’s security posture based on how it will be used after deployment. This chapter provides an overview of security-related topics as they pertain to Ubuntu DISTRO-REV Server Edition, and outlines simple measures you may use to protect your server and network from any number of potential security threats. User Management User management is a critical part of maintaining a secure system. Ineffective user and privilege management often lead many systems into being compromised. Therefore, it is important that you understand how you can protect your server through simple and effective user account management techniques. Where is root? Ubuntu developers made a conscientious decision to disable the administrative root account by default in all Ubuntu installations. This does not mean that the root account has been deleted or that it may not be accessed. It merely has been given a password hash which matches no possible value, therefore may not log in directly by itself. Instead, users are encouraged to make use of a tool by the name of ‘sudo’ to carry out system administrative duties. Sudo allows an authorized user to temporarily elevate their privileges using their own password instead of having to know the password belonging to the root account. This simple yet effective methodology provides accountability for all user actions, and gives the administrator granular control over which actions a user can perform with said privileges. • If for some reason you wish to enable the root account, simply give it a password: sudo passwd Sudo will prompt you for your password, and then ask you to supply a new password for root as shown below: [ sudo ] password f o r username : ( e n t e r your own password ) Enter new UNIX password : ( e n t e r a new password f o r r o o t ) Retype new UNIX password : ( r e p e a t new password f o r r o o t ) passwd : password updated s u c c e s s f u l l y • To disable the root account password, use the following passwd syntax: sudo passwd − l r o o t • You should read more on Sudo by reading the man page: man sudo 77 By default, the initial user created by the Ubuntu installer is a member of the group sudo which is added to the file /etc/sudoers as an authorized sudo user. If you wish to give any other account full root access through sudo, simply add them to the sudo group. Download 1.27 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
