Essential System Administration, Third Edition, is the definitive guide for Unix

system administration, covering all the fundamental and essential tasks required

to run such divergent Unix systems as AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Tru64

and more. Essential System Administration provides a clear, concise, practical

guide to the real-world issues that anyone responsible for a Unix system faces

daily.



The new edition of this indispensable reference has been fully updated for all

the latest operating systems. Even more importantly, it has been extensively

revised and expanded to consider the current system administrative topics that

administrators need most. Essential System Administration, Third Edition, covers

DHCP, USB devices, the latest automation tools, SNMP and network management,

LDAP, PAM, and recent security tools and techniques.



Essential System Administration is comprehensive. But what has made this book

the guide system administrators turn to over and over again is not just the

sheer volume of valuable information it provides, but the clear, useful way the

information is presented. It discusses the underlying higher-level concepts, but

it also provides the details of the procedures needed to carry them out. It is

not organized around the features of the Unix operating system, but around the

various facets of a system administrator's job. It describes all the usual

administrative tools that Unix provides, but it also shows how to use them

intelligently and efficiently.



Whether you use a standalone Unix system, routinely provide administrative

support for a larger shared system, or just want an understanding of basic

administrative functions, Essential System Administration is for you. This

comprehensive and invaluable book combines the author's years of practical

experience with technical expertise to help you manage Unix systems as

productively and painlessly as possible.
