Essential System Administration, 3rd Edition is a guide for Unix system administration that covers all fundamental tasks required to run Unix systems, such as AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Tru64, among others. This book provides a concise, practical, and clear guide for real-world issues that a Unix system leader encounters daily. The 3rd edition contains updated information for all recent operating systems. Furthermore, the edition has been extensively revised and expanded to cover the system administrative topics sought by many administrators. Topics such as DHCP, USB devices, the latest automation tools, SNMP and network management, LDAP, PAM, and recent security tools and techniques are covered in detail.

Essential System Administration is a comprehensive guide. However, the book’s clear and useful delivery has made it the primary reference book for system administrators for years. It discusses the underlying higher-level concepts and procedures to carry them out. The book is organized based on various facets of the system administrator’s job rather than the features of the Unix operating system. Besides, it describes how to use Unix’s regular administrative tools productively and efficiently.

Whether you use standalone Unix systems, offer routine administrative support for a more extensive shared system, or want an insight into basic administrative functionality, Essential System Administration caters to your needs. The author combines years of practical experience with technical expertise to offer a comprehensive and invaluable guide to help you manage Unix systems as seamlessly and productively as possible.
