Step: 1. Install Yum-Cron Package :

# yum -y install yum-cron

Step: 2. Configure Yum-Cron :

Note: By default, this software is configured to download all the updates & apply them immediately after downloading, but we can change these behaviors in its configuration file. In my opinion the default is good for what i want to achieve, download & install all the updates, if you just want a mail that tell you which packages are available set the parameter CHECK_ONLY to yes, this will NOT download the updates but will just check if there are updates & will send an email to the root account if there is something that can be updated.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/yum-cron

# Don't install, just check (valid: yes|no)
CHECK_ONLY=yes

# Don't install, just check & download (valid: yes|no)
DOWNLOAD_ONLY=no

# by default MAILTO is unset, so crond mails the output by itself.
MAILTO=koushik@domain.com

-- Save & Quit (:wq)

Step: 3. Block Packages from being Automatically Updated :

Note: If you want to exclude some packages from being updated.

# vi /etc/yum.conf

YUM_PARAMETER="-x kernel* -x php* -x httpd*"

-- Save & Quit (:wq)

Step: 4. Start Yum-Cron Service :

# service yum-cron start
# chkconfig yum-cron on

Q. What is NFS?

-- NFS stands for Network File System, a file system developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. It is a client/server system that allows users to access files across a network and treat them as if they resided in a local file directory. For example, if you were using a computer linked to a second computer via NFS, you could access files on the second computer as if they resided in a directory on the first computer.

Scenario :

192.168.100.220    ser1.domain.com    (NFS Server)
192.168.100.221    ser2.domain.com    (NFS Client)

Used Ports :

TCP: 111, 2049
UDP: 111, 32806

Here :
/assets and /var/www/html/domain.com/assets

These two are the directory, which are going to be share via NFS.

Step: 1. Install NFS Server ( On Server) :

# yum -y install nfs-utils rpcbind

Step: 2. Configure NFS Server :

# vi /etc/exports

# Access For All :
/assets      *(rw,async)
/var/www/html/domain.com/assets     *(rw,async)

OR

# Access For Particular Network :
/assets      192.168.100.0/24(rw,async)
/var/www/html/domain.com/assets     192.168.100.0/24(rw,async)

-- Save & Quit (:wq)

Important Note :
============



Step: 3. To Exexute the Changes made on /etc/exports :
   
# exportfs -ar

Step: 4. Restart the NFS Service :
   
# service rpcbind restart
# service nfs restart
# service nfslock restart

# chkconfig rpcbind on
# chkconfig nfs on
# chkconfig nfslock on

Step: 5. Install NFS on Client Machine :

# yum -y install nfs-utils rpcbind

Step: 6. Configure NFS Client :

# showmount -e NFS_Server_IP_Address

Export list for 192.168.100.220:
/assets 192.168.100.221
/var/www/html/domain.com/assets 192.168.100.221


Step: 7. Create a new Directory on your Client & Mount the NFS Export to the Directory :
   
# mkdir /assets
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/domain.com/assets
# mount -t nfs 192.168.100.220:/assets /assets
# mount -t nfs 192.168.100.220:/var/www/html/domain.com/assets /var/www/html/domain.com/assets

Step: 8. Restart the NFS Service :

# service rpcbind restart
# service nfs restart
# service nfslock restart

# chkconfig rpcbind on
# chkconfig nfs on
# chkconfig nfslock on

Step: 9. Finally, Mount NFS Directory Permanently on your System across the Reboots :

# vi /etc/fstab

192.168.100.220:/assets    /assets       defaults 0 0
192.168.100.220:/var/www/html/domain.com/assets   /var/www/html/domain.com/assets  nfs defaults 0 0

-- Save & Quit (:wq)

Step: 10. After any subsequent Server reboots, You can use a Single Command to mount Directories specified in the fstab file :

# mount -a

Step: 11. Now You can check the Mounted Directories :

# df -h -F nfs

Important commands for NFS :

1. showmount -e : Shows the available shares on your local machine
2. showmount -e <server-ip or hostname>: Lists the available shares at the remote server
3. showmount -d : Lists all the sub directories
4. exportfs -v : Displays a list of shares files and options on a server
5. exportfs -a : Exports all shares listed in /etc/exports, or given name
6. exportfs -u : Unexports all shares listed in /etc/exports, or given name
7. exportfs -r : Refresh the server’s list after modifying /etc/exports

# yum -y install libxml2 libxml2-devel httpd-devel pcre-devel curl-devel

Step: 2. Installing Mod_Security :

# cd /usr/src
# wget http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz
# tar xzf modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz
# cd modsecurity-apache_2.6.6
# ./configure
# make install
# cp modsecurity.conf-recommended /etc/httpd/conf.d/modsecurity.conf

Step: 3. Downloading OWASP Mod_Security Core Rule Set :

# cd /etc/httpd/
# wget http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/mod_security_crs/modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz/aaeaa1124e8efc39eeb064fb47cfc0aa/modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz

# mv modsecurity-crs_2.2.5 modsecurity-crs
# cd modsecurity-crs
# cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf

Step: 4. Configuring Mod_Security :

# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Search for the line LoadModule in your httpd.conf and add this below line at the bottom.

LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so

Uncommented this Module :

LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so

Now set the basic rule set in your httpd.conf file. Add the following lines of code at the end of the file :

<IfModule security2_module>
    Include modsecurity-crs/modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf
    Include modsecurity-crs/base_rules/*.conf
</IfModule>
