Completing the Lab

You should now have a common part of the filesystem available to all three vms. Files you store there on one machine will be accessible for the other machines too. Note that this should only be available when using your internal, statically assigned addresses. You have also explored how access permissions are used between the machines, and since this service relies on UIDs accessed on each machine, keeping them synchronized between machines becomes vital. In a future lab we will explore a service that will manage that aspect of our networks.

Follow the instructions on blackboard to submit the lab.
