COS 430 SPRING 2009 HW #3 DUE THURSDAY 2/5/09

In general, for the "Activities", be sure to provide enough information 
about what you saw to convince us that you actually did it. For example, 
if an activity says that you look at a title page, you should write down 
the title that you saw there. If the activity says that there is something 
humorous on a page, you should tell us what was humorous about it. 
Alternatively, you can provide images from your sessions if that is easier 
for you. Thus, you can include a screen shot or printout from a webpage, 
etc. Remember, the key idea is that you convince us that you did the 
activity.

SYSTEM HOMEWORK

Write and submit your weekly report following the guidelines in Lecture 5. 
You should omit any parts of the report dealing with attacks since you are 
still in the process of setting up the server. You should focus on 
explaining what you have accomplished so far, what distribution of linux 
you chose and why, the current state of the services that you are running, 
and any problems of special interest that you ran into so far. Be sure to 
create the HTML document that I discussed in class.

BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR SYSTEM HOMEWORK ON 2 CDS. Submit the rest of the 
homework on paper as usual.
