8.1 How do I learn more?
The Linux Documentation Project book called Linux Network Administrator's Guide by Olaf Kirch is pretty mandatory for anyone that will set up and maintain anything involving TCP/IP and Internet
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/network-guide/nag-1.0.ascii.tar.gz
The documentation that follows each software package will normally give you all the detailed information you need, if not always the overview. The man-pages will be the first place to look. Try for instance:
man pppd
You will also find some documentation about certain programs in the /usr/doc tree, although this is not always well structured.
The following HOWTOs will be highly relevant:
- Installation-HOWTO will get the basics sorted.
- NET-2-HOWTO is a very thorough description of installation and setup of the NET code. Much of this should already have been done if you use a standard Linux distribution (e.g. Slackware, Red Hat, Debian). But many sections on setup and troubleshooting will be very worthwhile.
- Mail-HOWTO explains how to configure various tools. Again, much of this will already have been done for you when you install a standard Linux distribution.
- News-HOWTO is for setting up a (conventional) news spool.
- Tiny-News covers yet another alternative for collecting news.
- PPP-HOWTO is a good description of problems you may encounter when setting up a PPP connection.
- Serial-HOWTO contains everything you need to know about setting up serial ports.
- Mail-Queue tells you how to send up sendmail to always queue remote mail but deliver local mail at once.
Red Hat has a mailing list for PPP issues; to join send an email to
redhat-ppp-list-request
