But however widespread networks have become, managing a network and getting it to perform well can still be a problem. \u003ci\u003eManaging NFS and NIS, \u003c\/i\u003e in a new edition based on Solaris 8, is a guide to two tools that are absolutely essential to distributed computing environments: the Network Filesystem (NFS) and the Network Information System (formerly called the \"yellow pages\" or YP). The Network Filesystem, developed by Sun Microsystems, is fundamental to most Unix networks. It lets systems ranging from PCs and Unix workstations to large mainframes access each other's files transparently, and is the standard method for sharing files between different computer systems. As popular as NFS is, it's a \"black box\" for most users and administrators. Updated for NFS Version 3, \u003ci\u003eManaging NFS and NIS\u003c\/i\u003e offers detailed access to what's inside, including: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to plan, set up, and debug an NFS network \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing the NFS automounter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiskless workstations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePC\/NFS \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new transport protocol for NFS (TCP\/IP) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew security options (IPSec and Kerberos V5) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnostic tools and utilities \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFS client and server tuning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e NFS isn't really complete without its companion, NIS, a distributed database service for managing the most important administrative files, such as the \u003cb\u003epasswd\u003c\/b\u003e file and the \u003cb\u003ehosts\u003c\/b\u003e file. NIS centralizes administration of commonly replicated files, allowing a single change to the database rather than requiring changes on every system on the network. If you are managing a network of Unix systems, or are thinking of setting up a Unix network, you can't afford to overlook this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Eisler, Ricardo Labiaga, Hal Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565925106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565925106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 7.10w x 1.03d","brand":"Mike Eisler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795388879103,"sku":"9781565925106","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec4b9afd-ce92-438d-8f46-68b7893a22ed.jpg?v=1744947449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-nfs-and-nis-mike-eisler-9781565925106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
