Sinossi

As the UNIX operating system in its various versions continues to make headway into MIS departments, the need for managing and administering UNIX becomes more critical. UNIX was designed by hackers for hackers, not for disciplined corporate types. The corporate types need all the features in UNIX that they expect, and get, in MVS and similar mainframe operating systems. Many of these features are available in UNIX if they can be found. This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of UNIX systems management so that the systems managers have only one reference work to consult when they need answers regarding system administration, security administration, and system tuning. Specific topics include the kernel, start up and shut down, file system, back up and restore, user administration, user communication, terminal and peripheral administration, physical and network security, audits, and tuning and troubleshooting. The text covers all versions of UNIX, including System V.4, Berkeley, AIX and SCO. It features a reference on dynamic disk management and explains the requirements and installation of X Windows clients and servers.
