SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide34 reviews
Daniel J. Barrett, Richard E. Silverman, ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

A Wonderful Book

+ Great learning book and reference
+ It is administrators guide, not implementors guide

This is a prime example of how technical books should be written. The material is not easy, but the authors' mastery of the subject matter is clear. It is superbly well organized and very well written. I was only interested in OpenSSH and not Tectia, but the way the material is presented, it was ...

Paul Watters

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2005

Where's SMF?

I bought this book because it was the most appropriate book on Solaris 10 that I could find at the bookstore. I am a long time Solaris system administrator, but I wanted a book that specifically talked about the new features of Solaris 10. I didn't know about SMF when I bought the book, but ...

Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide18 reviews
Paul Watters

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002

This book covers lots of ground quickly

Some people are trashing the book for a few insignificant flaws. Personally, I think he spends too much time on Java, doesn't cover PAM, RBAC or other new features to Solaris 8. On the whole, though, the book covers alot of good ground for intermediate level system adminstrators - those who have ...

Simply AIX 4.3 (2nd Edition)5 reviews
Casey Cannon, Scott Trent, ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 1999

Not bad for a helper book, but not a one stop reference book

Simply Aix 4.3 by Casey Cannnon, Scott Trent, Carolyn Jones IBN: 0130213446 I haven't read the entire book, but... The books seems like a reasonably good reference/learning tool; however the index could be more complete (no listing for mksysb, for example) and the book seems geared towards ...

There is one book however that sits on my office desk and has never made it to the library - Wicked Cool Shell Scripts. I have read, referenced and recommended it many times. The book is ...
