Thanks to everyone who pointed out this command. (and I thought _Linux in a NUTSHELL_ had all the answers!)
"Running Linux" has most of the answers, with both you should be pretty well covered. Steven. -- If a man stands in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him....Is he still wrong?

All the books from O'Reilly are good. I wouldn't recommend purchasing Running Linux unless the new edition (3rd) is finally out. The 2nd edition is 4 years old! You may also want to pick up a copy of "Essential System Administration" by AEleen Frisch. It's a bit dated on Linux, however, it does cover Unix system administration of various Unices - System V and BSD. The book is more than just a "how-to". The author shares her years of experience as a Unix sysadmin and the many aspects related to the job. It's one of my favorites. Check out: www.ora.com Mario

Yes they are. There are a number of other good ones out there too. Sams has some good stuff (SlackWare Unleashed is pretty good for getting into the meat of Linux, I don't know how recent it is anymore though).

I just really felt the need to say that "Essential System Administration" is an incredible book. It took me from being a decent user to knowing enough (and what else to find out about) to be a fully qualified System Admin. Definately high on my favorites list. The vast majority of what she talks about with Linux is still relevant. Also, most of the stuff on the other Unixen is very relevant. -- Jeff -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/M/>P d-(pu) s+:- a17>? C++(++++) L+++ UL++(+++)@>++++$ P+ E W++@ N+ o?

How about "Linux Security Administrator's Guide"? You'll find it at <http://nic.com/~dave/SecurityAdminGuide/SecurityAdminGuide.html> There's also an online version of "Maximum Security". You'll find it at <http://pbs.mcp.com/ebooks/1575212684/index.htm>

I've dl'ed the sag from the LDP, but I can't remember if that was the System Admin's or the Security Admin's guide, I'll check out the link.

Like your's was? Before you ask I'm using PINE. The start of the .sig does start with "-- ", there's just more on the line. PGP changes that when I use it to sign my messages, anyway.
