Nutshell Handbook: Managing NFS and NIS
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fair. Unterschrift / Widmung ohne Bezug; Gebrochener Buchrucken; Farbtonanderung. A modern computer system that operates independently is rare, and managing a network effectively can be challenging. This book introduces two essential tools for distributed computing: the Network Filesystem (NFS) and the Network Information System (NIS). Developed by Sun Microsystems, NFS is crucial for UNIX networks, enabling various systems--from DOS PCs to UNIX workstations and mainframes--to access files seamlessly. Despite its popularity, NFS often remains a "black box" for users and administrators. This book offers an in-depth guide on planning, setting up, and troubleshooting an NFS network, including performance tuning, the NFS automounter, network security, diskless workstations, and PC/NFS integration.Complementing NFS, NIS provides a distributed database service for managing key administrative files like passwd and hosts. It streamlines administration by allowing changes to be made in one central location rather than on each individual system. The book instructs readers on setting up and utilizing NIS for easier network management and for handling database applications, from simple contact lists to access control for network services. For anyone managing or considering a UNIX network, this resource is indispensable. Seller Inventory # cbe12437-cde5-4e2d-92d2-ac40a6b00158
