书籍简介
With an increasing number of networks and
mission-critical applications running on Linux, system and network
administrators must be able to do more than set up a server and rely on
its default configuration. Advanced Linux Networking
is designed to help you achieve a higher level of competence. It
focuses on powerful techniques and features of Linux networking and
provides you with the know-how you need to improve server efficiency,
enhance security, and adapt to new requirements.
This
book begins with a brief introduction to low-level configuration,
including a guide to getting your network up and running. Part II
outlines those servers and procedures most likely to be used by the
computers on your local network: DHCP servers, Kerberos, Samba, time
servers, and network backups, among others. Part III covers Internet
servers: DNS, SMTP (sendmail, Postfix, and Exim), Apache, and FTP
servers. Part IV examines network security, exploring such topics as
using a chroot jail, iptables configuration, and VPNs. Wherever
pertinent, the author addresses the differences between Caldera
OpenLinux, Debian GNU/Linux, Mandrake, Red Hat, Slackware, SuSE, and
TurboLinux.
Specific topics covered include:
-
Configuring small but potentially important servers quickly and easily
-
Optimizing Linux network operation
-
Using advanced system features effectively
-
Using systems and software in alternative ways to reach your goals
-
Avoiding possible damage to your system and violations of ISP policies
-
Securing your system
Advanced Linux Networking is the single-volume tutorial and reference for Linux networking that will help you achieve expert status.
