After you practice linux commands the next step is to learn shell scripting.

Also, keep notes of the more complex commands and its syntax for reference.

The more frequent you use a command and its options the better chance it will be engraved in your memory.

Till now from all the above posts you came to know how to learn and grab much knowledge about linux and remembering command of linux and all. But as you asked me how to become a good linux user or you can say a good linux administrator as you want to be. So here are some of the tips you can follow according to your need which are essential being a linux administrator:

1. All the time keep a system up to date. Apply all patches especially security update. Use up2date or yum or apt-get update commands to apply security updates.

2. Default firewall policy should be - close all door open required windows. Run iptables or ipf to block unwanted traffic, IPs, unused ports.

3. Never ever login as root, always use sudo. Disable root access for ssh and ftp session(default).

4. Do not run any perl or other executable code on production system as root. Always test downloaded stuff locally and use md5 checksum for verification purpose.

5 Take advantage of SELinux(Security-enhanced Linux) which enables mandatory access control mechanism. It is also recommended that you install anti-virus/anti-spam program on all mail server such as clamav(or you can purchase 3rd party AV/Anti Spam solution).

6. Finally run all important services in chrooted jail environment.

7. Remove or disable unnecessary services you don't use.

8. Conduct some(penetration) tests to ensure you didn't misconfig your setup.

9. Remove all compilers and network scanning tools such as nmap from servers. Why make the attacker's job easier?

Remember you can make attackers life hard but you cannot make anything 100% secure. Continues monitoring and tight security policy will keep running the service for long time without any sort of intrusion

HI Deep27ak,
Really helpful documents on the webpage.

Thanks for sharing...

One thing I've been doing to try keep my skills up is create an automated Linux setup using various commands, installs, configurations etc. Not only will it speed up any system setups you may have in the future it will also act as a command index over time.

Simple things like setting up a web server via a script and running some utils to test would be a good start.

Thanks once again Satyaveer Arya for your gr8 advice,

i will work on all above aspects that will help me to become a good system administrator.

also read your suggestion that you gave in azheruddin thread.

even i am in a beginning stage and will start searching a job.

Thanks you Satyaveer Arya and all who gave me good advice and clear my confusion.

Guys you are doing gr8 job of sharing knowledge.

Keep it up...

God Bless you all.....
