FreeBSD Mastery: Storage Essentials

Stop waiting for the network team!

If basic TCP/IP was hard, network administrators couldn’t do it. Servers give sysadmins a incredible visibility into the network—once they know how to unlock it. 

Most sysadmins don’t need to understand window scaling, or the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 echo requests, or other intricacies of the TCP/IP protocols. You need only enough to deploy your own applications and get easy support from the network team.

This book teaches you:
• How modern networks really work
• The essentials of TCP/IP
• The next-generation protocol, IPv6
• The right tools to diagnose network problems, and how to use them
• Troubleshooting everything from the physical wire to DNS
• How to see the traffic you send and receive
• Connectivity testing
• How to communicate with your network team to quickly resolve problems

A systems administrator doesn’t need to know the innards of TCP/IP, but knowing enough to diagnose your own network issues will transforms a good sysadmin into a great one.

Fungi are among the most networked creatures in the world. If a mushroom can do it, so can you!

Networking for Systems Administrators

Online Backup you can Trust and Verify!

Tarsnap, the secure online backup service for Unix-like systems, raised the bar for online backups. It’s inexpensive. It’s reliable. And you don’t need to trust the Tarsnap service—they can’t access your backups even if they wanted to.

• create and manage special-purpose keys
• automatically back up and rotate archives
• understand and resolve performance issues
• quickly restore complete systems

Ditch the tape room. Put your backups online, and know that they’re safe.

Tarsnap Mastery. Because life doesn’t back itself up.

Pluggable Authentication Modules: Threat or Menace?

PAM is one of the most misunderstood parts of systems administration. Many sysadmins live with authentication problems rather than risk making them worse. PAM’s very nature makes it unlike any other Unix access control system.

If you have PAM misery or PAM mysteries, you need PAM Mastery!

With PAM Mastery, you’ll understand:

• the different versions of PAM
• the intricacies of Linux-PAM and OpenPAM
• how PAM policies make decisions
• how to debug PAM

“I think we’re gonna need a bigger web server.”

OpenBSD has a solid reputation for security and stability. It’s well known for the OpenSMTPd mail server, the LibreSSL cryptography library, and the PF packet filter. But nobody ever talks about the load balancer, or the web server.

Until now.

The httpd web server provides a fast, stable, secure environment for your web applications. The relayd load balancer lets you distribute Internet application load across multiple hosts. Between the two, you can slash hundreds of thousands of dollars off the cost of building, deploying, and managing applications.

With Httpd and Relayd Mastery you’ll learn how to:
• set up web sites
• configure software to run in a chroot
• run dozens or hundreds of sites on one host
• dynamically reconfigure sites with Lua patterns
• manage site logs
• maintain free, globally-valid SSL certificates
• improve performance with SSL stapling
• install and maintain two-server clusters
• distribute traffic between any number of hosts
• stop worrying about old SSL versions and bad crypto algorithms

Slash the amount of time you spend futzing with web servers. Get Httpd and Relayd Mastery today!

Sudo: You’re Doing It Wrong

Unix-like operating systems use a rudimentary access control system: the root account can do anything, while other users are peasants with only minimal access. This worked fine in UNIX’s youth, but now that sysadmin responsibilities are spread among many people and applications, many people need a tiny slice of root’s power.

Sudo lets you divide root’s monolithic power between the people who need it with accountability and auditability.

Sudo Mastery will teach you to:

*design a secure sudo policy 
*simplify policies with lists and aliases 
*manage shell environments 
*verify system integrity via intrusion detection 
*deploy a single sudo policy across your enterprise
*manage sudo policies via LDAP 
*log and debug sudo 
*record and replay full sudo sessions 
*use authentication systems other than passwords

DNS

The world’s most successful distributed database—and the most naïve.

The Domain Name System is one of the Internet’s oldest protocols, designed for a network without hostile users. Intruders targeting a network start by investigating their DNS.

Until now.

This new edition of DNSSEC Mastery will have DNS administrators deploying DNSSEC with industry-standard software in hours instead of weeks. You will:

-Understand what DNSSEC provides

-Configure your servers to resist attack

-Verify your environment supports modern DNS

"Many users assume that their advanced filesystem is better than UFS because they have so many features—snapshots, checksums, compression, sophisticated caching algorithms, and so on—while all UFS has ever done is muck about putting data on disk. But, conversely, UFS users believe their filesystem is better for exactly the same reasons."

—Hitchhikers Guide to OpenBSD
