Fedora 9 Linux Networking and Servers

This book is designed as a Fedora networking and server reference, covering the Fedora servers and their support applications. Server tools are covered as well as the underlying configuration files and system implementations. The emphasis is on what administrators will need to know to perform key server support and management tasks. Topics covered include network connections, IP network administration, software management, Upstart service management, runlevels, and the Network Time Protocol. Key servers are examined, including Web, FTP, CUPS printing, NFS, and Samba Windows shares. Network support servers and applications covered include the Squid proxy server, the Domain Name System (BIND) server, DHCP, and IPtables firewalls. There are four parts: networking, services, shared resources, and network support.
