UNIX Administration

To configure and maintain an operating system is serious business. With UNIX and its wide variety of 'flavors,' it can be especially difficult and frustrating, and networking with UNIX adds still more challenges. "UNIX Administration: A Comprehensive Sourcebook for Effective Systems & Network Management" is a one-stop handbook for the administration and maintenance of UNIX systems and networks. With an outstanding balance of concepts and practical matters, it covers the entire range of administrative tasks, from the most basic to the advanced, from system startup and shutdown to network security and kernel reconfiguration.While focusing on the primary UNIX platforms, the author discusses all of the most common UNIX 'flavors,' including Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, AIX and SGI IRIX. Three chapters of case studies offer a practical look at UNIX implementation issues: UNIX installation, disk space upgrade, and several emergency situations that every administrator must expect to face at some point. Diverse yet detailed, filled with examples and specific procedures, this is the one book that both the novice and the seasoned professional need to learn UNIX administration and effectively perform their daily system and network-related duties.
