Network design has to be logical and efficient, decisions have to be made about what services are needed, and security concerns must be addressed. Focusing on general principles, this book will help make the process of setting up, configuring, and maintaining a network much easier. It outlines proven procedures for working in a global community of networked machines, and provides practical illustrations of technical specifics. Readers will also find broad coverage of Linux and other Unix versions, Windows(r), Macs, and mainframes. The author includes discussions on the social and ethical aspects of system administration.

From the Back Cover
∗ broad coverage of Linux and other Unix versions, Windows, Macs and mainframes
∗ practical – supplemented with reference section containing practical recipes and advice
∗ vendor/platform independent view of the technical, theoretical, practical and social/ethical aspects of system administration
∗ strong pedagogy – end of chapter exercises plus teaching guide available from website
Principles of Network and System Administration focuses on the general principles involved in setting up, configuring and maintaining computer communities. A robust discipline of system administration is now coming of age and both academics and industry recognize the need to formalize the problems which system administrators tackle. Amongst the challenges faced in planning and designing an efficient community of computers are:
∗ designing a network which is logical and efficient
∗ deploying large numbers of machines which can later be easily upgraded
∗ deciding what services are needed
∗ planning and implementing adequate security
∗ providing a comfortable environment for users
∗ developing ways of fixing errors and problems which occur
∗ keeping track of the enormous amount of ever–increasing volume of information
Whilst providing practical illustrations of technical specifics through examples, Burgess steers away from the overwhelming details of specific operating systems. Trainee administrators and students alike need to understand a wealth of issues relating to heterogeneous environments before understanding the quirks of any one particular system. Moreover this book teaches good practice for working in a global community of networked machines and organizations – which extends beyond being technically savvy to being professionally and ethically responsible.
