The book demonstrates in detail how to set and optimize network and Internet services, monitor Red Hat Linux System Maintenance, the basics of Red Hat Linux security and troubleshooting and problem solving advice. The user will learn how to: establish a network file system; configure mail services; configure TCP/IP networking and the Network Information System; connect to Microsoft, Apple and Novell networks; use LDAP; configure FTP services; configure mail and web services; maximize use of Red Hat Network; upgrade and customize the kernel; administer users and groups; install and upgrade software packages; and backup and restore the File System.
