ESSENTIAL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION, 2nd Edition
By AEleen Frisch
788 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-127-5, $32.95

The second edition of "Essential System Administration" has finally
arrived! Released on September 8, it should appear on bookstore shelves in
late September. This new edition has been updated for the latest versions
of all major UNIX platforms (including Sun OS 4.1, Solaris 2.3, AIX 4.1,
Linux 1.1, Digital UNIX OSF/1, SCO UNIX version 3, HP/UX versions 9 and
10, and IRIX version 6), and the entire book has been thoroughly reviewed
and tested on all of the platforms covered. In addition, coverage of
networking, electronic mail, security, and kernel configuration has been
expanded substantially.

Originally published in 1991, "Essential System Administration" was the
first book to take an in-depth look at the fundamentals of UNIX system
administration in a real-world, heterogeneous environment. The book
approaches UNIX systems administration from the perspective of the system
administrator's job -- the routine tasks and troubleshooting that make up
the sysadmin's day. When faced with the challenges of dealing with
frustrated users, convincing an uncomprehending manager that new hardware
is needed, rebuilding the kernel, or simply adding new users, system
administrators will find help in this book.

"Essential System Administration" covers back up and restore, organizing
and planning file systems, TCP/IP networking, and setting up email. In
addition, it explains core system administration tasks such as setting up
printers, adding terminals and disk drives, and securing the system. But
"Essential System Administration" is not for full-time systems
administrators alone. Linux users and others who administer their own
systems will benefit from its practical, hands-on approach.
