Unix

"The benefit of running syslog-ng on each UNIX host is the ability to encrypt the logging channel with IPSec or the utility Stunnel so that data is not readable by the casual sniffer. When combined with Stunnel as a transport mechanism, an organization has a secure way of centralizing log messages from all desired UNIX hosts for further processing." From Sun.

Ellen Messmer writes: Intended primarily for customers using Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating enviroment 2.5.1 or newer, this volume expects readers to have knowledge equivalent to a Sun certified administrator or Sun certified network administrator for Solaris. That said, this 365-page volume by Sun engineers Alex Noordegraaf and Glenn Brunette is an in-depth "how-to" guide for using the Solaris Security Toolkit software.

Ellen Messmer writes: With the picture of what appears to be a long-bearded Zen monk and his smiling robed student on the cover, it's clear this hefty volume is aimed at leading the UNIX-programming apprectice onto the path to to coding nirvana. Over 500 pages, the volume, authored by Eric S. Raymond, co-founder of the Open Source Initiative, takes pains to fill the reader in on the history and "philosophy" of UNIX, then tackles a daunting array of technical considerations.

Ellen Messmer writes: Over 900 pages, this volume is a comprehensive, highly technical guide to using the application program interface known as sockets. The authors, W. Richard Stevens, Bill Fenner and Andrew Rudoff, note that while the examples given in the book have been tested on Unix systems, many non-Unix systems support the sockets API as well. The book includes discussion of IPv6 as well as IPv4.

Ellen Messmer writes: Authored by Kay Robbins and Steven Robbins, both computer-science faculty instructors at the University of Texas at San Antonio, this 893-page volume is an update to their Unix system programming guide of nearly a decade ago. The new edition adds more emphasis on Web and proxy caching, but primarily focuses on the Unix POSIX standard, what it is and how to make use of it.
