Hands-on UNIX Administration

Do you have one or more UNIX systems?

Are you concerned about security on your system?

Do you know how to recover from a hardware failure?

Is your system spending too much time down?

This class is for people who know UNIX as a user and wish to begin to obtain the knowledge needed to become a system administrator. The class will be heavily oriented towards problem-solving, with learning by solving problems that the instructor creates on the computer. The class will be approximately 50/50 lab and lecture.

The class will be hands-on with one or two students per computer. The class will be limited to eight students to insure that they receive personal attention.

The class will not make use of vendor-supplied system administration tools because they vary widely between flavors of UNIX. Plus, on most systems they only work when the system is completely up; i.e. when you need them most they are least likely to work.

Class will run 8:30am to 4:30pm with an hour for lunch.

The class textbook will be UNIX System Administration Handbook, 2nd ed. by Nemeth et al, Prentice Hall, 1995. It will be supplied by Kenneth Ingham Consulting. Students will also receive a set of notes to augment the textbook.
