Editorial Reviews

This handbook for novices familiar with shell programming addresses issues related to both system administration and network administration on the UNIX platform. The author, who has taught at Columbia University, describes procedures for system startup and shutdown, file system layout, user account management, security, printing, and backup. The networking chapters review TCP/IP, domain name system, network information service, remote commands, and electronic mail. Both Berkeley and System V are covered, with some additional examples for Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, SunOS, and AIX. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"It is written for serious Unix administrators that need a comprehensive Unix resource. The book is well organized into four sections: UNIX Administration, Network Administration, Supplemental Unix Topics, and Case Studies…  for admins who want a single, first-rate reference guide to Unix, UNIX Administration: A Comprehensive Sourcebook for Effective Systems & Network Management will fit the bill quite well.
