Final Project - Examples
Automation Kick-start install Package management/update Scripting Web front-end of user account management Network Web cache performance enhancement using multiple network interfaces Security How to setup a secure network? Misc Asterisk PBX (http://www.asterisk.org/) Linux PVR (http://www.mythtv.org/)
Final Project - More Examples
System Automation
If any server is down, can you setup an identical server within a few minutes?
Web front-end for email filter or SPAM filter setup Improved lockdown script Uses crontab or an agent to collect statistics of your system, such as uptime, load, # of processes, tx/rx bytes .. Implement a web frond-end to display those info
Scripting
System Health Monitor System
Final Project - More Examples
Visualization
Instead of displaying number, display graph instead Graph the topology of a given network
Fault Tolerant System
Hot-standby and fail-over if primary system fails Load balance
NX server and preserve login session Something better than round-robin DNS Incremental backup system Snapshot-like implementation
Backup
Final Project - More Examples
System Security
Parse the log files for potential break-ins, attacks, etc. Tripwire re-implementation Write a tool that determines if any NIC of a group of machines are in promiscuous mode
LDAP Write a script to filter out non-PS files before spooling the files
Authentication Integration between Linux and Windows
Print Server
File system Implementation
FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/)
Final Project - More Examples
