Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This soup-to-nuts collection of recipes covers everything you need to know to

perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to the job

or have years of experience. With Linux Networking Cookbook, you'll dive

straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining a computer

network. Running a network doesn't mean you have all the answers. Networking is

a complex subject with reams of reference material that's difficult to keep

straight, much less remember. If you want a book that lays out the steps for

specific tasks, that clearly explains the commands and configurations, and does

not tax your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and

obscure RFCs, this is the book for you. You will find recipes for: Building a

gateway, firewall, and wireless access point on a Linux network Building a VoIP

server with Asterisk Secure remote administration with SSH Building secure VPNs

with OpenVPN, and a Linux PPTP VPN server Single sign-on with Samba for mixed

Linux/Windows LANs Centralized network directory with OpenLDAP Network

monitoring with Nagios or MRTG Getting acquainted with IPv6 Setting up

hands-free networks installations of new systems Linux system administration via

serial console And a lot more. Each recipe includes a clear, hands-on solution

with tested code, plus a discussion on why it works. When you need to solve a

network problem without delay, and don't have the time or patience to comb

through reference books or the Web for answers, Linux Networking Cookbook gives

you exactly what you need.
