Features: The two authors of this book have been system administrators for quite some time. When the opportunity to write this book arose, we initially focused on the cool quick tips we had developed or used in our server and system administration careers. We turned to our friends, who in turn turned to their friends, so we were able to enhance our existing resources with the great contributions of others. Everyone enjoys solving certain problems. Bill likes distributed authentication, deleting and restoring files, and managing file systems. Brian likes to make management tasks more efficient, reliable, and repeatable; he has many great scripts to accomplish various tasks; he enjoys obtaining and using remote data. Every system administrator has their favorite problem-solving techniques, so quick tips are cool techniques used by hackers, called "tech" for servers or system administrators. System administration quick tips are smart ways to solve various problems, whether it's recovering lost data or collecting information from distributed clients in one place to get a big picture or understand a specific situation.
