This book/disk set conveys a proven methodology of administration that can be applied to today's open systems environment. John Wetsch's SAMATRIX.C is a practical matrix model developed and coded in C for organizing and analyzing the primary functional areas of UNIX system administration. Based on studies of practising administrators, SAMATRIX.C facilitates communication between system administrators and other managers throughout the enterprise. Each system administrator can use the automated matrix as is, or modify it for a specific situation. SAMATRIX.C organizes system administration into five modules, providing sound procedures for each area: software module - organizes basic kernel and shell programming, file systems and application management; hardware module - covers device driver management, peripheral hardware installation and continuing hardware maintenance; network module - explains how networks are set up on UNIX machines, provides a performance test kit, and presents the options for Internet access; security module - provides shell scripts, and explains procedures for security, system accounting and monitoring (utilities to support procedures for network, system, application, data and physical security are provided); operations module - combines the previous modules to provide services to users and manage information throughout the enterprise.
