From the Back Cover

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.

Excellent product. Exactly what I expected considering I previously read this book. Roderick might need to update his content to support newer versions of Linux made after this book supported though.

Older book, still has vital information.

ByPete Theisenon November 22, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Another from the required list of my Linux classes. This book showed a little physical wear on the cover, but the pages were all straight and unmarked. Remarkable for a 99 cent price. The shipping was more than the book!

Mucked around with Linux for over ten years before deciding to take the classes.

The title is misleading at best

ByGLFon January 11, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I'll cut to the chase.

There is little real discussion of networking. There is a short section on general networking. How to use DHCP and how to set up static addresses, gateways and a default route. There is a brief section on alternate stacks Netbeui, IPX and the like. All of the above is done in 45 pages.

There is no discussion of bridges, tunnel interfaces, VLANS or any other special (that is ADVANCED) networking topics. No explanation of the interfaces file. At the end of the book there is some discussion of Kernel options including QOS, routing protocols and iptables. This is general.

The balance of the book - 600 pages - is devoted to various topics. Those topics could be generally be called server applications. SMTP, POP3, Network News, Web Server, X Server and the like. There is a discussion of Kerberos and tar (yes, the tape archive app - huh?).

You might find a couple of useful tidbits in the book - but in general it doesn't measure up to the alleged subject in my opinion. As best I can tell, the Linux world still needs an authoritative text on the subject.

The best all-in-one resource on Linux system configuration

ByRich Rosenon October 2, 2003

Format: Paperback

There are many books available covering a wide array of Linux configuration subjects, some of which are more authoritative than others. This one is, in my opinion, the most thorough because it provides the deepest coverage on the widest range of topics. Its content isn't restricted to one particular "brand" of Linux (Debian vs. Red Hat vs. Mandrake), covering the differences in the ways that each of these Linux variants is configured (e.g., directories for System V startup scripts). It isn't limited to the "standard" tools and programs, offering a variety of easier-to-configure alternatives (such as Exim for SMTP, ProFTP for FTP, and thttpd and khttpd for web servers). Add to this the substantial coverage provided on DNS setup, SSH, printer configuration, Samba file sharing, security, and remote administration interfaces, and you have a truly comprehensive resource.
I own quite a few Linux books (including the Red Hat Bible, Linux Server Hacks, and the Linux Security Cookbook, all of which I still highly recommend!). But if I had to choose just one book, it would definitely be this one. In setting up the more complex configuration options on my own Linux server, it has proved invaluable.

Excellent Linux Guide

ByRyan Gravelon March 9, 2006

Format: Paperback

I found a ton of usefull information within this book. Even though it is aging (2002), most all of the instructions are still valid. I feel that beginners as well as advanced users should have this book in their 'lab' at all times!!!
