protocols, hardware, and security. The next few chapters deal with
configuring Linux for TCP/IP networking and running some major
applications.

Chapter 2, examines IP a little more closely
before we get our hands dirty with file editing and the like. If you
already know how IP routing works and how address resolution is
performed, you can skip this chapter.

Chapter 3,
Configuring the Serial
Hardware, deals with the
configuration of your serial ports.

Chapter 4,
Configuring TCP/IP
Networking, helps you set
up your machine for TCP/IP networking. It contains installation hints
for standalone hosts and those connected to a network. It also
introduces you to a few useful tools you can use to test and debug
your setup.

Chapter 5,
Name Service and
Configuration, discusses
how to configure hostname resolution and explains how to set up a
name server.

Chapter 6,
The Point-to-Point

Chapter 7,

controlling who can access your network and hosts.

Chapter 8,
IP
Accounting, explains how
to configure IP Accounting in Linux so that you can keep track of how
much traffic is going where and who is generating it.

Chapter 9,
IP Masquerade and Network Address
Translation, covers a
feature of the Linux networking software called IP masquerade, or
NAT, which allows whole IP networks to connect to and use the
Internet through a single IP address, hiding internal systems from
outsiders in the process.

Chapter 10,
Important Network
Features, gives a short
introduction to setting up some of the most important network
infrastructure and applications, such as SSH. This chapter also
covers how services are managed by the inetd superuser and how you
may restrict certain security-relevant services to a set of trusted
hosts.

Chapter 11,
Administration Issues with Electronic
Mail, introduces you to
the central concepts of electronic mail, such as what a mail address
looks like and how the mail handling system manages to get your
message to the recipient.

Chapter 12,
sendmail,
covers the configuration of sendmail, a mail
transport agent that you can use for Linux.

Chapter 13,
Configuring IPv6
Networks, covers new
ground by explaining how to configure IPv6 and connect to the IPv6

services.

Chapter 15,

explains the steps necessary to configure an IMAP mail server, and
discusses its advantages over the traditional POP mail solution.

Chapter 16,
Samba,
helps you understand how to configure your Linux server to play

your Windows users might not be able to tell the
difference.[2]

[2] The obvious joke here is left to the
reader.

uses of this service

Chapter 18, finally, details the steps required to
