Product Description
This book, targeted toward the more experienced Mac user, is an advanced guide to administering Mac networks and other networks that incorporate Mac machines. If you are a Mac administrator who is unfamiliar with UNIX and the new OS and who needs expert advice on working with the new UNIX kernel, this book is for you. You will quickly get up to speed with UNIX commands you need, leaving more time to focus on networking your Macs. This book also covers the most often used Mac OS features, including AppleTalk and TCP/IP protocol stacks.
Customer Reviews & Comments This book is (apparently) an early attempt to describe the setup, configuration and administration of Apple's OS X server. This kind of book is much needed but this one fails miserably because it is so woefully out-of-date. It does not address 10.2 Jaguar Server and, in fact, most of the screen captures and artwork are OS 9. When it does attempt to develop a subject it does so so lightly that it's almost a hoax. Avoid this book. Save your money. Look elsewhere. Print and read the Mac OS X Server Administrator's Guide that comes free on the 10.2 Server CD. It is ten times the book that this one is.
