tips for administration of a Linux server.

Asked by akohan in Linux Administration, Linux Programming, Red Hat Linux

Tags: , ,

Hello Experts,

I have setup a Linux Server (CentOS 5) for my developement. Currently I have only one account (root) but I'm going to allow 1 or 2 developers use the server for development as well. I don't have experince in administration so will appreciate it if you could advise me how to setup accout for my developers (even for myself since it is not safe to develop as root right?). Of course, I know how to add user but what I don't know is:

1) How to allow a user to have access to /var/www/html/ for PHP developement or other necessary paths.
2) How to allow user to use MySQL with some limitations
3) I don't know which paths must be accessible by a developer and which not. for instance a developer must see the log information in /var/log/messages or ... also /var/log/httpd/error.log but I'm not sure what else I should do and how.
4) how to setup an FTP user to use sftp

Any help is appreciated greatly.

Regards,
ak
