Features: Since its first edition in October 1991, this book has become the ultimate reference for Unix and Linux system administrators. It discusses all the common management tools provided by Unix and Linux and explains how to use these tools more intelligently and efficiently. The author, Frisch, has expanded the scope of the discussion to include increasingly important topics for administrators such as networking, email, security, and kernel configuration. The book also explores services like LDAP, PAM, DHCP, and DNS, and discusses many important open-source tools, including SSH, Cfengine, Amanda, RRDTool, and Cricket. The book provides thorough reviews and tests of all major new Unix platforms, including Red Hat Linux 7.3 and SuSE Linux 8, Solaris 8 and 9, FreeBSD 4.6, AIX 5, HP-UX 11 and 11i, and Tru64 5.1.
