Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Linux, a Unix-compatible operating system that runs on personal computers and larger servers, is valued above all for its networking strengths. The "Linux Network Administrator's Guide spells out all the information needed for joining a network, whether it's a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with a Linux system serving as a firewall, an NFS or NIS file server, and a mail and news hub.

This book, which is one of the most successful to come from the Linux Documentation Project and remains freely distributable under its license, touches on all the essential networking software included with the operating system, plus some hardware considerations. Fully updated, the book now covers firewalls, including the use of ipchains and iptables (netfilter), masquerading, and accounting. Other new topics include Novell (NCP/IPX) support and INN (news administration). Original material on serial connections, UUCP, routing and DNS, mail and News, SLIP and PPP, NFS, and NIS has been thoroughly updated. Kernel options reflect the 2.2 kernel. However, some topics covered in other books (notably Samba and web server administration) are not in this book.

Topics include: Introduction to TCP/IPConfiguring network and serial hardwareDomain Name ServiceSerial line communications using SLIP and PPPNIS and NFSTaylor UUCPAdministering electronic mail, including sendmail and Exim Administering Netnews, including INN and several news readersFirewalling using ipfwadm, ipchains, and iptables (netfilter)Masquerading and accountingIPX configuration for a Novell Netware network

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Terry Dawson is an amateur radio operator and long time Linux enthusiast. He is the author of a number of network related HOWTO documents for the Linux Documentation Project and is an active participant in a number of other Linux projects. Terry has 15 years professional experience in telecommunications and is currently engaged in network management research in the Telstra Research Laboratories. Terry lives in Sydney with his wife Maggie, and son Jack. Olaf Kirch has a degree in Mathematics but turned his back on category theory and compact continuous lattices after booting his first Linux kernel some time in 92. He vividly recalls the joy of learning Unix by reading Linux kernel code. Since that time, he has participated in various Linux projects, including writing large parts of its NFS implementation, and running the first Linux security mailing list with Jeff Uphoff in 95. He currently works for Caldera Systems, where he is responsible for much of the network related stuff as well as security issues, and sometimes finds himself wondering whether he's dreaming or if all this is real. In his spare time, he enjoys being with Maren and their daughter Jule. And in case you actually read the bio in the first edition of the Network Administrator's Guide, Olaf does have a driving license now.
