Product Description

This soup-to-nuts collection of recipes covers everything you need to know to perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to the job or have years of experience. With "Linux Networking Cookbook", you'll dive straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining a computer network. Running a network doesn't mean you have all the answers. Networking is a complex subject with reams of reference material that's difficult to keep straight, much less remember. If you want a book that lays out the steps for specific tasks, that clearly explains the commands and configurations, and does not tax your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and obscure RFCs, this is the book for you.You will find recipes for: building a gateway, firewall, and wireless access point on a Linux network; building a VoIP server with Asterisk; secure remote administration with SSH; building secure VPNs with OpenVPN, and a Linux PPTP VPN server; single sign-on with Samba for mixed Linux/Windows LANs; centralized network directory with OpenLDAP; network monitoring with Nagios or MRTG; getting acquainted with IPv6; setting up hands-free networks installations of new systems; Linux system administration via serial console, and a lot more. Each recipe includes a clear, hands-on solution with tested code, plus a discussion on why it works. When you need to solve a network problem without delay, and don't have the time or patience to comb through reference books or the Web for answers, "Linux Networking Cookbook" gives you exactly what you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent -but a little dated, 29 Mar 2008

By	Paul Milligan (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Carla Schroder is the Delia Smith of Linux cookbooks; all the recipes work and can be tried at home.

However this work is a little dated for something so recently published (for instance PCI Express is treated as an up-and-coming technology rather than the current standard).

Her SAMBA example is about replacing an NT4 domain controller, which although a perfectly workable solution for home and small business is a little out of date given that AD is now in it's 8th year.

There is also some confusion between MB/s and Mbps that leaves you thinking that PCI can't handle Gigabit Ethernet.

Notwithstanding the above comments it is a good book. It encourages you to try all those things you said you'd do when you had time. Because it's a cookbook you can do most 'recipes' in anything from an hour to an afternoon. I've just got the book but I'll try most of the ideas over the next month or so, so I might finally have a vpn that works, a DC for my 6 pc home network and a firewall that I understand how to configure.
