Product Description

Product Description

This book covers Solaris 8 and 9 as well as earlier versions. Each chapter starts with a list of relevant manual pages and system files that are related to the tasks described in the chapter. All tasks are explained in detail and illustrated with example commands and the relevant output that system administrators will encounter. Chapters are presented in chronological order and cover the steps that system administrators follow to build systems. For example, Rhodes and Butler start by adding users onto a single system, add the system to the network, move on to configuring services such as NFS and NTP—which rely on the newly-configured network—and so forth until they have built a complex of networked machines using NIS, NTP and a multitude of other services.The code examples in the book have all been built and tested on the systems described in that chapter. Rhodes and Butler also provide a number of tools, which can be used to monitor and manage the system, and define a hierarchy for configuring both the servers and clients. This is the companion to the Solaris System Administrators Reference by Janice Winsor (0130277010)!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is streets ahead of the competition, 28 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This is a great book. I get the feeling that there are 2 common factors shared by all the best IT texts I have read. One, the authors are extremely expert in their subject and two, that they invested the time in 'being bothered' to produce a book of quality.

As a brief synopsis, this book is practically based, as hinted by the title. All the core Solaris subjects are covered in a good amount of detail. What I particularly liked about the book was the authors readiness to highlight both common and sutle pitfalls - something very rare in most of the IT books you get today.

Well done indeed. I won't hesitate in buying another book by these authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book if you want to learn Solaris OE, 23 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I have purchased and read many unix books. I just wish I had read this book a long time ago and before I got my Solaris SCSA Certification............

There is simply loads of useful bits of information in this book and it includes many new ones I never came across or knew. All topics are explained logically, clearly in a manner that is easy to read.

After reading some little snippet or topic, I think to myself - so thats what that little command is all about etc...

Buy this book - and NO I am not the author..... :O)

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY, 4 Oct 2002
I have finally found a Unix book that gives the step by step examples I have always dreamed off, from system backups to scripts. I recommend this for all levels of Unix administrators.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the most useful Solaris book ever
This is a book that all Solaris administrators should have on their bookshelves. Very pleased with this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little out of date
This book is what I would expect from a cookbook. It details how to conduct real-world tasks and also explains them very well. Read more
