This soup-to-nuts collection of recipes covers everything you need to know
to perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to
the job or have years of experience. With Linux Networking Cookbook,
you'll dive straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining
a computer network.
Running a network doesn't mean you have all the answers. Networking is a complex
subject with reams of reference material that's difficult to keep straight,
much less remember. If you want a book that lays out the steps for specific
tasks, that clearly explains the commands and configurations, and does not tax
your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and obscure
RFCs, this is the book for you.
You will find recipes for:
- Building a gateway, firewall, and wireless access point on a Linux network
- Building a VoIP server with Asterisk
- Secure remote administration with SSH
- Building secure VPNs with OpenVPN, and a Linux PPTP VPN server
- Single sign-on with Samba for mixed Linux/Windows LANs
- Centralized network directory with OpenLDAP
- Network monitoring with Nagios or MRTG
- Getting acquainted with IPv6
- Setting up hands-free networks installations of new systems
- Linux system administration via serial console
And a lot more. Each recipe includes a clear, hands-on solution with tested
code, plus a discussion on why it works. When you need to solve a network problem
without delay, and don't have the time or patience to comb through reference
books or the Web for answers, Linux Networking Cookbook gives you exactly
what you need.
About the Author
Carla Schroder is a self-taught Linux and Windows sysadmin who laid hands on
her first computer around her 37th birthday. Her first PC was a Macintosh LC
II. Next came an IBM clone--a 386SX running MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.1 with a
14-inch color display--which was adequate for many pleasant hours of Doom play.
Then around 1997 she discovered Red Hat 5.0 and had a whole new world to explore.
Somewhere along the way she found herself doing freelance consulting for small
businesses and home users, supporting both Linux and Windows users and integrating
Linux and Windows on the LAN, primarily Linux servers and Windows clients. She
is the author of the Linux Cookbook for O'Reilly, and writes Linux how-tos for
several computer publications.
Carla is living proof that you're never too old to try something new; computers
are a heck of a lot of fun; and anyone can learn to do anything. Visit tuxcomputing.com
