Review:
Although mailing lists are hardly one of the more glamorous aspects of Internet communications, they remain one of the most useful, effective, and popular methods for group discussions. Many organizations and businesses use them to keep in touch with members and customers. But while mailing lists are simple to use, they can be confusing for newcomers to run. This comprehensive guide is for anyone who wants to run or manage a mailing list, including the busy system administrator who needs to ensure that user-owned mailing lists run as trouble-free as possible. Schwartz concentrates on Unix systems and software because they are well proven, stable, and free (plus, most mailing lists are based in Unix systems). Discussions of Unix systems and ...

Review:
This is the definitive book on the Domain Name System (DNS), the powerful scheme that facilitates the translation of English-like domain names (www.amazon.com) into computer-comprehensible Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (208.216.182.15). If you run a DNS server of any kind, particularly under Unix, you need to have this book on hand. This book's early chapters give a view of DNS from high altitude, explaining basic concepts such as domains, name servers, and name resolution. From there, the authors proceed on a more practical tack, presenting specific instructions for setting up your own domain and DNS server using BIND. The authors then tell you what to do as your domain grows and you need to add more machines, subdomains, and greater th... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
NFS (Network File System) provides, for UNIX systems and those connected to them, very basic file and print server functions. NIS (Network Information Services, formerly called the "Yellow Pages"--a name which remains in the initial "yp" of most of the related programs) is an extension and related system handling files which deal with system and user information. NIS tells NFS about systems and connections, and can also provide general information on users. Originally developed by Sun Microsystems, both applications are now widely licensed, and provide fundamental sharing of resources on top of TCP/IP, in a fashion similar to microcomputer network operating systems. The book provides information on the fundamentals of networking, and... Rest of this review on the detail page
