[snip] >-- >- Dan Taylor - <dan@pacsat.com> > Dan, I highly recommend "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth, et al. The second edition has been out for at least 6 mo. The BSDI examples in there are by and large applicable to *BSD. Also, the O'Reily and Associates books on whatever topic you need to know about. I also understand that any of the CSRG personnel-authored books are applicable except in some of the implementation details where *BSD have moved to later (better, I assume) technologies. All these are available in the major bookstore chains in major cities in the US, or they can be ordered there. The Nemeth et al. book and a news connection (for specific OS-dependent information) have been sufficient for me. Good luck, Bud Dodson -- M. L.
