"Olaf Kirch originally wrote "Linux Network
Administrator's Guide" as part of the Linux Documentation Project to
enable users to master all those day-to-day, practical issues that
arise in Linux networking. It proved so invaluable a text on Linux
networking, that O'Reilly & Associates published it in book form."
"'Linux Network Administrator's Guide' is an LDP work, it's a free
documentation project," says Terry Dawson, the book's co-author. "The
end result is an example of the synergy that can result when a company
like O'Reilly is brave enough to support a project in spite of the
knowledge that some of their work and effort may assist competitors."
"Now fully updated in its second edition, this impressive, comprehensive
introduction to networking on Linux covers firewalls--including the use
of ipchains and iptables (netfilter)--masquerading, and accounting.
Other new topics include Novell (NCP/IPX) support and INN (news
administration). Original material on serial connections, UUCP, routing
and DNS, Mail and News, SLIP and PPP, NFS, and NIS has been thoroughly
updated."
