Chapter 10. Important Network Features
After successfully setting up IP and the resolver (DNS), you then
must look at the services you want to provide over the network. This
chapter covers the configuration of a few simple network
applications, including the inetd and
xinetd servers and the programs from the
rlogin family. We'll also deal
briefly with the Remote Procedure Call interface, upon which services
like the Network File System (NFS) are based. The configuration of
NFS, however, is more complex and is not described in this book.Of course, we can't cover all network applications
in this book. If you want to install one that's not
discussed here, please refer to the manual pages of the server for
details.
