Integrating Unix and NT Systems

By Andrew Rieger

""Integrating Unix and NT Systems offers solutions to the many challenges faced by an administrator faced with integrating WIndows NT and Unix systems into a cohesive, transparent infrastructure. Andrew Rieger draws on his experience managing a large, multiplatform site to throw light on all facets of the problem from file sharing to security. Each section explores a number of options for addressing problems and addresses a range of situations and budgets. Each chapter concludes with two vital sections:

Pitfalls, laying out the gotchas users need to avoid

Futures, pointing out signposts to the direction the technology is heading in Topics covered in the book include:
