Summary: some important topics missing
Comment: There is some good information in this book but way to much important stuff is missing. Stuff that should be in *any* linux networking book that is missing from this one include:

-discussion of dhcpd, the dynamic host config protocall daemon
-discussion of dhcpcd, the dynamic host config protocol client daemon
-the routed daemon
-any other meaningful discussion of dynamic routing in linux
-any discussion of connectivity with Windows machines (SAMBA is not mentioned anywhere in the entire book)

It would not be possible to administer an actual modern network without any of the above. These omissions are unforgivable in my opinion. Definite one star.

Summary: Inconsistincies in user reviews
Comment: I have not read this book, but want to make a comment about the reviews on this page. Please notice that many people have stated this book did not tell them how to use Linux. It is important to know that the title of the book is NETWORK ADMINISTRATION. Networking is about TCP/IP, FTP and the like. It is not about the file system.

In that light, the negative reviews all came from someone looking for a linux "how to", not a networking guide. The positive reviews came from individuals who knew what this book is about and it met their needs.

Summary: Networked yourself
Comment: One of first book about TCP/IP services configuration. I really found that this book really usefull. However this book only suitable for beginners.
