Advanced Linux Networking
The advanced Linux networking book for experienced Linux administrators in mission-critical environments!-- Expert-level techniques and solutions for low-level configuration, LAN and Internet servers, network security, and routing.
-- In-depth coverage not found in conventional Linux networking guides -- from running Linux time servers to advanced Samba scripting.
Increasingly, Linux is used to drive networks in mission-critical environments -- and system/network administrators working in those environments must have far deeper expertise than ever before. Advanced Linux Networking picks up where conventional Linux books leave off, helping experienced Linux system and network administrators accomplish more -- and solve more problems -- than they can with any other book. Its breadth and depth make it an exceptional single-volume reference for every Linux professional. The book is structured into four sections, each essential to the working Linux administrator: Low-Level Configuration, Local Network Servers, Internet Servers, and Network Security and Router Functions. In-depth coverage includes: kernel and TCP/IP configuration, alternative network stacks, server startup scripting, DHCP configuration, printer sharing, mail protocols, remote Iogin servers, GUI access, remote system administration, network backups, iptables, firewalls, and VPNs. Among the topics covered in exceptional depth: configuring Kerberos; running time servers, font servers, and chroot jails; and using Samba's scripting capabilities to burn CDs and create PDFs. For every experienced Linux system or network administrator, and for Linux power users with network-related responsibilities.
