Books for person who want to be Linux/Unix administrator
Hi,
I would like to become Linux/Unix administrator. Of course I am aware that it is practically impossible to get that job immediately and in the beginning it will be Junior position or 2nd level of technical support.
But I would like to ask: how in-depth knowledge about daemons such like Apache, Sendmail, BIND, Samba should I have? Do you think that a description which is included in book "Unix Administration Handbook" is enough to apply for entry-level position?
I enjoy with tools such like vi, bash, awk etc. and I can learn it easily.
But I am not sure about how I should interpret sentences "good knowledge of Apache, Sendmail, ..." in job offers because I think that every has very specific requirements about how a given configuration should look so in my opinion it is more matter of ability to use manuals and documentation than a matter of knowledge of tools itself.
Greetings!

apache::session::informix
Apache::Session::Informix(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Session::Informix(3pm)
NAME
Apache::Session::Informix - An implementation of Apache::Session
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Informix;
#if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Informix:sessions',
UserName => $db_user,
Password => $db_pass,
Commit => 1
};
#or, if your handles are already opened:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
Handle => $dbh,
Commit => 1
};
DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Informix backing store and no locking. See the example, and the
documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Informix for more details.
USAGE
The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit. You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to
either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing. This feature is provided so that this module will not have
adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order
to make you think about this problem.
This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not specified, the default
maximum is 8 KB.
AUTHOR
This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.
