computers using the Network File System (NFS).
fstab Identifies the devices for common storage media (hard disk, floppy, CD-ROM,
and so on) and locations where they are mounted in the Linux system. This is
used by the mount command to choose which file systems to mount when the
system first boots.
group Identifies group names and group IDs (GIDs) that are defined on the systems.
Group permissions in Linux are defined by the second of three sets of rwx
(read, write, execute) bits associated with each file and directory.
gshadow Contains shadow passwords for groups.
host.conf Sets the locations in which domain names (for example, redhat.com) are
searched for on TCP/IP networks (such as the Internet). By default, the local
hosts file is searched and then any name server entries in resolv.conf.
hosts Contains IP addresses and hostnames that you can reach from your computer.
(Usually this file is used just to store names of computers on your LAN or small
private network.)
hosts.allow Lists host computers that are allowed to use certain TCP/IP services from the
local computer.
hosts.deny Lists host computers that are not allowed to use certain TCP/IP services from
the local computer (although this file will be used if you create it, it doesn??™t
exist by default).
