DESCRIPTION:
This guide discusses how to create and manage a network environment that integrates Windows NT and UNIX systems. It covers a variety of topics that are important in managing an integrated network, from the role of NT and UNIX in the modern network to integrating Internet servers and platforms. Steven Burnett is the contributing author and technical editor of "Client/Server Programming with RPC and DCE, Special Edition", "Using Netscape 2, Special Edition", "Using Netscape 3", "Netscape Starter Kit" and "Using Linux".. The book presents real-world solutions to common problems, and discusses both commercial and freeware products that ca
Beginning with a general overview of how the two operating systems can work together, the authors promptly explain how to access Windows NT-resident files from a Unix machine, and vice versa. A companion CD-ROM holds Samba, SOSSNT, some other software, and some documentation. Generally speaking, integrating Unix machines with Windows NT computers means jumping through some flaming hoops. Samba, the most popular Windows NT emulator, gets prominent coverage, as does Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) and System V Unix variants (especially evident in the sections about sharing printers).
Disappointed The book covers all important areas. However much entry-level content that is available elsewhere in a better form in reproduced (i.e. an introduction to tcp/ip and subnets) I'd expect someone who buys an UNIX/NT integration guide to be fairly accustomed with these basics. In short, this book is really inflated but also provides some valuable insights into typical problems of NT/UNIX integation. A must read for modern Administrators A Customer Provides many solutions to common and not so common problems faced in modern environments that have a mix of NT and UNIX systems. The mixed environment printing chapter is a MUST read.. Excellent book on fully integrating UNIX and NT. A Customer I hope more books like this come out in the near future. Shows lots of good examples, and offers lots of reviews of software packages. A must have for an administrators bookcase.
