The Linux Documentation Project book called Linux
Network Administrator's Guide by Olaf Kirch is pretty
mandatory for anyone that will set up and maintain anything
involving TCP/IP and Internet
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/network-guide/nag-1.0.ascii.tar.gz
The documentation that follows each software package will
normally give you all the detailed information you need, if not
always the overview. The man-pages will be the first place to
look. Try for instance:
man pppd
You will also find some documentation about certain programs in
the
/usr/doc tree, although
this is not always well structured.
The following HOWTOs will be highly relevant:
- Installation-HOWTO will get the basics
sorted.
- NET-2-HOWTO is a very thorough
description of installation and setup of the NET code. Much of
this should already have been done if you use a standard Linux
distribution (e.g. Slackware, Red Hat, Debian). But many
sections on setup and troubleshooting will be very worthwhile.
- Mail-HOWTO explains how to configure
various tools. Again, much of this will already have been done
for you when you install a standard Linux distribution.
- News-HOWTO is for setting up a
(conventional) news spool.
- Tiny-News covers yet another
alternative for collecting news.
- PPP-HOWTO is a good description of
problems you may encounter when setting up a PPP connection.
- Serial-HOWTO contains everything you
need to know about setting up serial ports.
- Mail-Queue tells you how to send up
sendmail to always queue remote mail but deliver local
mail at once.
Red Hat has a mailing list for PPP issues; to join
send an email to
redhat-ppp-list-request
with the subject line
subscribe
