Product Review
This is the book you need if you're planning to build a Unix server on your intranet or, especially, on the Internet. Networking Unix spends a minimal amount of time talking about network generalities. Instead, the book plunges right into the mechanics of setting up a Unix machine for operation on a network.

You'll find fine explanations of setting up a Domain Name System (DNS) server, configuring a Network Information Service (NIS), establishing a Network File System (NFS), and using remote management utilities. There's also useful information about using a Reverse Address Resolution Server (RARP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), coverage of how Unix boxes deal with dialup protocols, and quite a bit more.

When used in conjunction with a general Unix reference, Unix Networking will help you get your big iron connected to the world.
