It should come as no surprise that in addition to its radically redesigned operating system—Mac OS X—Apple has introduced new server software that promises to revolutionize the world of network administration as well. Built on a UNIX core, Mac OS X Server is the first server platform to let Mac, Windows, Linux, and UNIX users share files and printers out of the box—and Real World Mac OS X Server is here to show you how to do that, plus a whole lot more!In this comprehensive, under-the-hood guide, veteran Mac journalist, author, and teacher John Welch takes you through the ins and outs of IP-based file sharing and printing services for Mac, Windows, UNIX, and Linux users, as well as Internet and mail services for Apache Web server, WebObjects 5, and QuickTime Streaming Server. Real World Mac OS X Server will also show you how to manage your local network, navigate the UNIX file system permission architecture, use secure remote administration from anywhere on the Internet, and manage Internet and Web services for PHP, Server Pages, and Web Dav—in short, everything you need to get the most out of Apple's new server technology and to make your job a bit easier in the process.
