Kickstart Configuration in RHEL5
Kickstart configuration in redhat server is used to automate the operating system installation with the help of preboot execution environment( PXE ). PXE is used to install OS to client from server. By using kickstart in PXE, you don't need to set IP address or any thing. We can automatically install the software package, while configuring the kickstart file. Kickstart is also called installation tool.
#yum install system-config-kickstart*
#system-config-kickstart
Configure the kickstart file and save it as .cfg in /var/ftp/pub directory
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) Configuration in RHEL5
PXE stands for Preboot Execution Environment. PXE configuration is used to install the operating system automatically from linux redhat server without CD ROM. By using this single person can able to handle more number of operating system installation.
To use this PXE service, our system should be DHCP server( Server which assigns IP address when computer restarts / fresh OS installed in a network)
Requirements: DHCP Server
Package Name: tftp
An operating system copy of linux redhat version 5 should be copied to the directory /var/ftp/pub

How To: Configure LINUX – User Can Login in Specified Days Only
In Redhat Linux operating system we can configure our system that can allow users to login in the system in some specified days of the week with Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).
#cd /etc/pam.d
#vim login
account required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_time.so
:wq!
By account required pam_time.so placing this line in login file, while login it will invoke this time.conf file. In time.conf file we can configure the login permission for root.
#vim /etc/security/time.conf
root can login into the system only on tuesday at 10 A.
How To : Allow Root, Users To Login Only Through Specified Terminals With PAM

PAM configuration files will be inside / -> etc -> pam.d
#cd /etc/pam.d
Here login file inside pam.d directory is the file, which will be called and used when user/root login into the system.
#vim login
account required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_access.so
:wq!

Pluggable Authentication mode (PAM) RHEL 5
PAM - Pluggable Authentication Module. PAM was first proposed by Sun Microsystem in 1995 and it was first adopted with Redhat Linux in 1996.
PAM provides permissions for service and process to work. To secure the system from users as well as from root access PAM will be used and it give all types of security purpose. PAM configuration can control root access and its functionality.
#cd /etc/pam.d
