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 gives you all the information you need to join a network, whether you want a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with your 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/IP Configuring network and serial hardware Domain Name Service Serial line communications using SLIP and PPP NIS and NFS Taylor UUCP Administering electronic mail, including Sendmail and Exim Administering Netnews, including INN and several news readers Firewalling using ipfwadm, ipchains, and iptables (netfilter) Masquerading and accounting IPX configuration for a Novell Netware network --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

The long-overdue second edition of O'Reilly's Linux Network Administrator's Guide, by Olaf Kirch and Terry Dawson, still sports the cowboy colophon, suggesting that netadmins have retained their Lone Ranger personas. While life for a sysadmin has improved over the years with the introduction of the ./Configure utility and build-less rpm distributions, network building and maintenance is still a vast prairie, in its complexity growing faster than the availability of tools and documentation to tame it. Linux document libraries are filled with disparate, obsolete, and/or redundant How-Tos for multiple Ethernet cards, bridging, cable modems, DHCP, Samba, ISDN, DSL, and laptop Ethernet card peculiarities.

Sadly, the recycling of the cowboy motif indicates a deeper problem with the second edition. While authors Kirch and Dawson have expanded and updated Kirch's original text, they give scant attention to any of the paradigm shifts that have occurred in Linux networking since 1993. Strangely, the authors have retained much material on core technologies of diminishing importance in the era of small ISP-connected networks. While PPP and Chat are still relevant for ISP connections, such protocols as UUCP, SLIP, dip, and PLIP are largely of historical interest. Discussions of packet routing are not browsable, and there is no practical presentation of the configuration of routing for multiple Ethernet cards, which the small-network Linux market needs. The showstopper is the absence of any discussion of configuring DHCP, DSL, cable modems, or Samba. When the authors blithely indicate in their preface the growing importance of these areas, one gathers that this book was written in 1997 or earlier.

Still, in the nearly 500 pages of earnest effort, Kirch and Dawson expand on such infrastructural basics as TCP/IP, NIS, and DNS. Discussions of firewalls and IP masquerading are genuinely new, and the authors include an up-to-date section featuring firewall implementations in kernels as recent as 2.4. Such tried-and-true utilities as SMTP and Sendmail are covered in detail, although out-of-the-box implementations haven't posed serious problems for years. The five chapters on reading and serving network news are positively excessive.

Perhaps it's time for the cowboy to come back to the ranch to see how the world has changed. --Peter Leopold

The most complete (and important) product of the Linux Documentation Project is arguably the Network Administrator's Guide, usually called NAG. It's freely downloadable, distributable and saleable under the Gnu General Licence.

O'Reilly has worked with the authors to improve the quality and accessibility of the NAG for this book version. All the improvements have been fed back into the original, which means you can download this book for free. In practice, a printed version is so useful--and it costs so much more to produce an inferior print copy for yourself--that you'll want to buy it. But download the digital version to prove it.

Linux is primarily a networking operating system and supports a multitude of networking protocols as well as the near ubiquitous TCP/IP. The NAG tells you everything about TCP/IP, from how to set up networking cards to setting up and deploying DNS. It also goes into the depths of UUCP (the store and forward protocol), Novell's IPX and NCP, SLIP and PPP for dial up networking, firewalls, IP masquerading, routing, Sun's NIS, NFS, Sendmail and Exim for e-mail, NNTP for newsgroups and more besides. What it doesn't cover is interfacing with Windows on networks, which is a function of Samba. If this is what you need, buy O'Reilly's Using Samba as well.

The NAG is the definitive guide to Linux networking whether you're coming to it cold or have previous experience. --Steve Patient --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

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. --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。
