This assignment provides a comprehensive guide to Linux server administration, focusing on two key tasks. The first task details the installation and configuration of a DNS server using Bind9 on an Ubuntu system. It covers the steps from installing the Bind package to creating forward and reverse zones, configuring the named.conf.local file, and restarting the DNS server. The second task involves creating a directory, generating a list of running processes using the 'top' command and saving it to a text file, and then modifying file permissions using chmod to restrict access. The assignment demonstrates practical skills in server setup, DNS configuration, process management, and file permissions, essential for any system administrator. The solution includes detailed commands, configuration file snippets, and references to relevant resources.
