4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 22 Oct 2008

By	C. Davies "Ceri Davies" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was approached some time ago by Packt Publishing with a request to review Network Administration with FreeBSD 7, a new book by Babak Farrokhi who is a FreeBSD committer among other things.

Right from the Preface it seemed clear that neither the author nor any of the editorial staff were native English speakers which, being the way that I am, made it very difficult to get into. Somewhere around chapter three, this improved drastically however, and I could finally manage to concentrate on the content. Which is good news, because the content is excellent.

Network administrators at any scale, from LAN to WAN, will find something useful. Routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP are covered, and there's a good chapter on IPsec (and non-IPsec) tunnels which was directly useful to me personally while I was reading. Also welcome was information on IPv6 and a chapter on kernel tuning.

With multi-core systems such as Sun's X4450 behemoth and the fine-grained locking in the network stack that FreeBSD enjoys now that GIANT is pretty much a distant memory, using FreeBSD on an off-the-shelf system to run hardcore bits of the network is practical, and this book works really well as a way to find out what the system is capable of and how to get started. Short chapters on getting familiar with FreeBSD and basic administration are also included, so there's really no excuse not to take a look!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only network administration, 23 Oct 2008

By	Ivan Voras - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though the book's title is "Network Administration with FreeBSD", it actually covers all aspects of bringing a FreeBSD system to a useful server configuration. It starts with a general introduction in topics like system setup, configuration, RAID, package management and jails, and continues to cover most aspects of network administration, from setting up basic IP (IPv4 and IPv6) to firewalls, tunneling and network servers (SSH, DNS, Apache, etc.).

I'd say the book is targeted to users beginning with FreeBSD but at least some experience (even if it's only cursory) with Unix or Linux systems administration. For this audience, it gets full marks.
