Special Note
Today Linux is used in numerous domains, from embedded systems to supercomputers, and has secured a place in server installations with the popular LAMP application stack. Torvalds continues to direct the development of the kernel. Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation, which in turn develops the GNU components. Finally, individuals and corporations develop third-party non-GNU components.

Command-Line Email PDF Print

When my editor asked me to write an article on email, my first reaction was to mimic a sound I used to hear on Sesame Street. Come on now; what can be written about email that hasn't already been said? What can children and grandparents both do at the drop of a hat? What easier way is there to share a joke or comment on the latest goings-on? What more efficient and flexible monitoring and report tool does there exist for the system administrator?

Most system administrators who have maintained a server for more than a few months will have their own stories to tell.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt currently surround the GPL (GNU General Public License) in the eyes of most IT managers.

They worry that trade secrets will be exposed and allow their competition an unfair advantage over them.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Freeciv is clearly a labor of love among its many volunteers. Since the code for this open source version of Civilization was released in 1995, hundreds of volunteers have added to it and improved it, even though the original developers haven't been heavily involved in years.
 
CVS Administration PDF Print

CVS--or Concurrent Versioning System--is a tool for saving the user's butt by maintaining a history of changes. It allows for the retrieval of older versions of files, records who makes each change, and prevents simultaneous changes from overwriting each other.
 
A Batch Job to Add New User IDs PDF Print
Articles - Submissions

A common system administration task is to add new users. In large installations, such as central computing servers at universities or in large companies, adding users is often best performed as a "batch'' job, one that is automated with scripts. Consider, for example, the start of a new semester at a large public university, where there are hundreds, if not thousands, of new students. Creating accounts by hand would be impossible, so we need to automate the task.
