Anything by O'Reilly and Associates, with a blue spine. This includes _Essential System Administration_, _TCP/IP Network Administration_, _Sendmail_, _Using Named and Bind_, and _Using NFS and NIS_. (I hope I got the titles right.) Also, the Nemeth et al book on Unix System Administration is good. A subscription to _Unix Review_ might be a good idea, especially if you can get it for free. Look for a colleague who has a free subscription and get a subscription qualification card from him. Browse the man pages and other on-line docs -- they may be dense, but they are certainly authoritative. ;^) -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet
