Lines: 22 There is an amazing book out there that I haven't seen mentioned on Usenet. It is, "UNIX NETWORK PROGRAMMING" by W. RICHARD STEVENS. It is published by PRENTICE HALL and its ISBN is 0-13-949876-1. At the $41 price I paid, this book is a terrific 772-page gold-mine of information. This book includes comprehensive descriptions of BSD sockets, Xerox XNS, and AT&T's System V Transport Layer interface. There are chapters TFTP, BSD lpd protocol, BSD rsh/rlogin protocol, BSD rmt (remote tape drive) protocol, and a few miscellaneous topics such as remote procedure calls, network performance, Internet/inetd services, and security (including a pretty clear description of Kerberos). If you have any interest at all in networking in a BSD environment, you will probably want to get a copy of your own right away. Tons of real source code is included. This isn't a commercial announcement, since I'm just a happy buyer of this book. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: oliveb!cirrusl!dhesi
