From the Author
This Unix Admin book covers what the others leave out!Most all Unix administration books only cover what Unix commands and issues are. I wrote this book so that you could discover WHY, WHEN and WHAT the repercussions of being an administrator is. The reason certain commands are used, how to deal with daily issues, and real world experiences. There are normal, and many not-so normal administration issues and commands that are included in this book. I also added, how to getting the most from vendors (sales and support), dealing with various type of users, finding a new job, and interviewing potential administrators. I hope you enjoy all the Unix Hints and fun Hacks that I put into this book.
