Hi A proposal for FreeBSD news and/or suggested reading web pages: The second edition of the french book "Cahier de l'admin BSD" has been published. Like the first edition, the book is about Unix system administration with BSD. It is aimed at readers that know about computers, but not nescessarily about UNIX. It covers UNIX basics, BSD installation, various system administration tasks, TCP/IP networking, firewalls setups, package systems, "classic" services such as web, DNS and Internet mail, and disaster management. The primary focus of the book is of course BSD, but whenever it is possible, it tries to give the reader a broader view of how things works on other UNIX systems (e.g. : System V and Linux, sometime MacOS X). The idea is to give the reader a strong BSD knowledge, but also a good UNIX culture. Second edition includes additions about X server setup with XFree86, printer manaagement (including content filters), VPN setups, and more about anti-virus and anti-spam filering techniques. The book outline: 1. UNIX and BSD 2. Where to use BSD 3. UNIX basics 4. BSD installation 5. UNIX system startup 6. User, groups and security 7. Configuring a Unix workstation 8. Basic Unix services 9. Network basics for the impatient 10. BSD as a firewall 11. Third party software and package systems 12. Classic services : web, DNS and Internet mail 13. Disaster management ISBN: 2-212-11463-X More information about the book, including two chapters downloads (PDF) is available from the publisher's web site: http://www.eyrolles.com/Informatique/Livre/9782212114638/ There is no plan yet for a translation in a language other than french. Don't hesistate to contact me if you know a publisher interested into making a translation of the book. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus Il y a 10 sortes de personnes dans le monde: ceux qui comprennent le binaire et ceux qui ne le comprennent pas. manu@netbsd.org
