I am looking for information on a course that I could take that will teach me how to become a system administrator on a 4.3BSD machine. I am looking in particular for things like setting up ethernet interfaces, compiling kernels, managing mail/printers/news, and building boot tapes I don't need anything like 'here is how to use vi' or 'here is how to build users and groups and assign permissions to files'. Any pointers to companies that offer this, or to actual conferences would be appreciated. -- William C.

It provides good, useful information for the system administrator. It is more of a begin- ners book, however. +============================================================================+ | Brandon Brown Internet: brando@uiucme.me.uiuc.edu | | Addamax Corporation UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!addamax!brown | | 2009 Fox Drive GEnie: xmg23356 macbrando | | Champaign, IL 61820 CompuServe: 73040,447 | +============================================================================+

Not only is this an excellent book--and not just for beginners--but one of the authors does the USENIX Conference Tutorial on System Administration. These are given at every USENIX conference and are among the most popular ones; they fill up fast, so if you want in, pre-register. -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286
