UNIX System Administration
This course presents material covering various aspects of operating and
managing a UNIX system, including:
- file system backup and recovery
- adding new users
- system accounting
- system startup and shutdown
- system configuration and performance
- networking considerations
Examples in this course will be taken from the 4 Bsd version of UNIX (on
which Ultrix-32 is based), but most of the material presented is broadly
applicable to other versions such as AT&T's System V, Version 7, Digital's
V7M11 (now Ultrix-11).
Prerequisites: This tutorial is aimed at "system administrators"
responsible for some flavor of UNIX.
Instructors: Ed Gould, Bob Kridle, and Vance Vaughn are founders of mt
Xinu, a Berkeley company dedicated to the distribution and support of UNIX
for VAX computers. Between them, they have been running UNIX systems for
over eighteen years.
