Essential for all users of the Unix sendmail package.
This new Nutshell Handbook is far and away the most comprehensive book ever written on sendmail, a program that acts like a traffic cop in routing and delivering mail on Unix-based networks. Although sendmail is used on almost every Unix system, it's one of the last great uncharted territories - and most difficult utilities to learn - in Unix system administration.
This book provides a complete sendmail tutorial, plus extensive reference material on every aspect of the program. It covers IDA sendmail; the newest version (V8) from Berkeley; and the standard versions available on most systems. Part One of the book is a tutorial on understanding sendmail; Part Two covers practical issues in sendmail administration; Part Three is a comprehensive reference section; and Part Four consists of appendices and a bibliography.

For advanced Unix users - Domain Name Service and BIND.
This book is a complete guide to the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) and the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software, the UNIX implementation of DNS. DNS is the system that translates hostnames (like "rock.ora.com") into Internet addresses (like 192.54.67.23) Until BIND was developed, name translation was based on a "host table"; if you were on the Internet, you got a table that listed all the systems connected to the Net, and their address. As the Internet grew from hundreds to thousands to hundreds of thousands of systems, host tables became unworkable. DNS is a distributed database that solves the same problem effectively, allowing the Net to grow without constraints. Rather than having a central table that gets distributed to very system on the Net, it allows local administrators to assign their own hostnames and addresses, and install these names in a local database. This database is automatically distributed to other systems, as names are needed.
In addition to covering the basic motivation behind DNS and how to set up the BIND software, this book covers many more advanced topics: how to become a 'parent' (i.e., 'delegate' the ability to assign names to someone else); how to use DNS to set up mail forwarding correctly; debugging and trouble-shooting; and programming. Assumes a basic knowledge of system administration and network management.

Good starter guide complementing Programming Perl.
Learning perl, O'Reilly's new Nutshell Handbook, is ideal for system administrators, programmers, and anyone else wanting a down-to-earth introduction to this useful language. Written by a Perl trainer, its aim is to make a competent, hands-on Perl programmer out of the reader as quickly as possible. The book takes a tutorial approach, and includes hundreds of short code examples, along with some lengthy ones. The relatively inexperienced programmer will find Learning perl easily accessible.
Each chapter of the book includes practical programming exercises. Solutions are presented for all exercises.
For a comprehensive and detailed guide to programming with Perl, read O'Reilly's companion book Programming perl.

Library reference book for the powerful Unix programming language becoming increasingly popular.
This is the authoritative guide to the hottest new Unix utility in years, co-authored by its creator.
Perl is a language for easily manipulating text, files, and processes. Perl provides a more concise and readable way to do many jobs that were formerly accomplished (with difficulty) by programming in the C language or one of the shells. Even though perl is not yet a standard part of Unix, it is likely to be available wherever you choose to work. And if it isn't, you can get it and install it easily and free of charge.
Also includes a pull-out quick-reference card.
