I have the Unix programmers book already. Introducing the UNIX System, (c) 1983, ISBN 0-07-045001-3 by Henry McGilton and Rachel Morgan The book covers V7 and is a general intro to UNIX. It has one chapter on administration near the end of the book. It covers very basic stuff: * setting the date * startup/shutdown * users and groups, su command * file systems (mkfs, mount, umount, fsck, icheck, ncheck) * adding devices (mknod) * dump, restor, tar Overall though this is still a great book on UNIX in general, even today. Great tutorials on ed, sed, ex, vi, nroff/troff, and ms macros make it worthwhile to own. scot ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

That said if you are running V6 get a copy of the Lion's text. For real synthesis, maje sure your copy is an nth generation xerographic copy😅. Seriously go to Amazon and get the modern reprint.

By admin, are we really talking about admin, or just standard usage. Ritchie’s install guide and a book like Bourne’s Unix System (my personal favorite) book, or even one of the Kochan books might serve. I know Bourne and Kochan’s books are for later systems, but the bulk of them still apply. The Lion book is a great recommendation.
