Reader Reviews
Hello, My name is Mike Eisler, and I am one of the co-authors of Managing NFS and NIS, Second Edition. I'm writing this note to offer additional information to potential readers. At the time I submitted this note, most of the customer reviews for this book referred to the first edition. One of the reviews states that the book is focused on NFS version 2 over UDP and the old style automounter. Actually, you'll find the second edition of our book is more modern. New topics in the second edition include NFS version 3, NFS over TCP, modern autofs-based automounters, Kerberos V5 authentication for NFS, NFS Access Control Lists (ACLs), and client side fail over. Another difference is that first edition of this book used SunOS 4.x as a reference for examples. The second edition uses Solaris 8. The second edition provides information you won't find in NFS product documentation, such as using tools like ethereal to debug NFS problems. This book will give you the benefit of insights from people who probably wrote some of the code for your clients and servers. You may find (and I hope) that it will save you the trouble reporting a problem to your vendor's customer support line. Thank you for considering our book. Comment | | (Report this)
