Files and directories or folders have permission sets for the owner of the file along with the group associated with that file and all other users of that system. But these permission sets have some limitations. For example, different permissions cannot be configured for different users. Thus, Access Control Lists (ACLs) were implemented.</div>

ACLs can be configured as follows<br /></div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc;">For users not in the user group for the file</li>

ACL  provides an additional flexible permission mechanism for file system on a Linux system. It enhance the traditional <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Unix" target="_blank">UNIX </a>file permissions for files & folder. With ACL, you can give permissions for any user or any group with fine-grained access rights.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.9em; text-align: justify;">
ACLs can be configured per user, per group or via the effective rights mask. These permissions then can be apply to an individual user or a group, and also you can use the same as rwx (Read, Write, Execute) found in regular file / folder permissions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.9em; text-align: justify;">
ACLs requires kernel support and your kernel musk support <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/ACL_Permission" target="_blank">ACL </a>in order to implement ACL on your Linux distribution. Along with support in the kernel, the acl package is also required to implement ACLs. Acl package contains the utilities used to add, modify, remove, and retrieve ACL information from a file / folder.</div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Why CentOS Linux?</span></h2>
<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Oswald, Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 50px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

CentOS Linux is a community-supported distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (<a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/RHEL" target="_blank">RHEL</a>). As such, CentOS Linux aims to be functionally compatible with <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Rhel7" target="_blank">RHEL</a>. The <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Centos" target="_blank">CentOS </a>Project mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS Linux is no-cost and free to redistribute. Each CentOS version is maintained for up to 10 years (by means of security updates — the duration of the support interval by Red Hat has varied over time with respect to Sources released). A new CentOS version is released approximately every 2 years and each CentOS version is periodically updated (roughly every 6 months) to support newer hardware. This results in a secure, low-maintenance, reliable, predictable and reproducible Linux environment.</div>

<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Oswald, Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 50px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

First, switch to root user. This is not required if your current local user have sudo privileges. This is only for this tutorial. Do not practise this for regular system administration.</div>

To know whether your kernel supports ACL or not, type the following command in a terminal.</div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); line-height: 19.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">[root@hackthesec]#</span><span style="color: lime;"> cat /boot/config-4.1.6-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 | grep _ACL

<span style="line-height: 28.8px;">After issuing the above command, you will see something like this which indicates that your kernel has the support for ACL.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><b>ejabberd </b>is an XMPP application server, written mainly in the Erlang programming language. It can run under several Unix-like operating systems such as Mac OS X, GNU/<a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Linux" target="_blank">Linux</a>, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and OpenSolaris. Additionally, ejabberd can run under Microsoft Windows.

How to Install and Configure Ubuntu LTSP Server

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;"><b>Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) </b>is a free and open source terminal server for Linux that allows many people to simultaneously use the same computer. Applications run on the server with a terminal known as a thin client (also known as an X terminal) handling input and output. Generally, terminals are low-powered, lack a hard disk and are quieter and more reliable than desktop computers because they do not have any moving parts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">Improving access to computers becomes less costly as thin client machines can be older computers that are no longer suitable for running a full desktop OS. Even a relatively slow CPU with as little as 128 MB of RAM can deliver excellent performance as a thin client. </span></span><br />
