Students need to know more than just what command to type to become a successful system administrator. This unique book discusses the fundamentals of the craft, and how to think about the problems that are posed. Through real-world examples the authors discuss the models that experienced system and network administrators use, but rarely document. From a series of philosophical and practical points, the authors, in mentor-like fashion, build a set of larger guides and teach how to think like an experienced system administrator. The What To Do When section is of immense utility when students grapple with the many-sided issues faced in system and network administration. Students gain an understanding of the role and responsibilities of the profession and learn the technical skills that are critical to the success of a system and network administrator.

Publisher: Addison Wesley This is the definitive guide for today's system and network administrators. It covers the entire craft of system/network administration: today's best techniques, practices, and principles, as well as rarely discussed -- but critical -- career and management issues. Thomas Limoncelli and Christine Hogan show how to think like a sysadmin, discussing the approaches and processes that experienced system and network administrators always use, but hardly ever document. Through real-world examples the authors present both the philosophy and practical day-to-day techniques of system administration, offering guidance that will help system and network administrators regardless of the platforms and environments they are responsible for. Early sections blend philosophy and practice, while the final section introduces specific techniques and policies that can supercharge the effectiveness of any system or network administrator. For all system and network administrators, and for the managers who supervise and train them.
