It is a very good course on the admin of the basic networking capabilities of the Iris 4D environment. It first touches on the fundamentals of networking (terms, layouts, etc.) It then has several lecture/lab sections covering the different network utilities on the 4D. The major topics we covered were: a. Mail b. NFS c. Diskless Environment d. NIS (then YP) e. UUCP f. DNS (very little; just defined it; no instruction on configuration) The following was taken from an SGI information sheet: Network Administration (4.5 days) This course teaches system administrators the fundamentals of local data communications and networking within an IRIS-4D environment. This course concentrates on four major aspects of networking: strategy, installation, administration and troubleshooting. The course is delivered through a mix of lecture/discussion and hands-on labs. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv | Kenneth M.
