This book is intended for those who need to get things done with Mac OS X Server 10.6. As such, you can use this book two ways. Those new to Mac OS X Server can read straight through the entire book, and by the end should feel competent to administer any Mac server thrown their way. For those with some knowledge of Mac OS X Server, or perhaps a thorough knowledge of other Unix-based servers, the book is arranged by tasks so that you can either start reading at any point, skipping material you already know, or pick and choose the chapters you'll find most helpful to your own work or system needs. This task-oriented approach also makes the book useful as a general reference for all aspects of Mac OS X Server.
Throughout the book, special emphasis is given to the new features of the latest release, Mac OS X Server 10.6, a.k.a. Server Snow Leopard. For instance, you'll find out how to integrate an iPhone with Mac OS X Server using the new Mobile Access features, or how to install an SSL certificate in the web service, Apache.
- Task-oriented approach to server administration makes it easy to find and accomplish what needs to get done
- Thorough subject coverage including workflows for Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server GUI-level features, command-line features, and alternatives
- Features introductory material for new administrators, emphasis on new features for upgrading to Snow Leopard Server, and more advanced material for experienced IT and enterprise administrators who want to get the most out of Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server
|You now have an Mac OS X Server 10. 6 set up and configured to act as a file server for your environment. The settings and steps you have just followed are more in depth than the automatic configuration, because in part the goals are to make sure you have some understanding of what goes into creating the server and to best position you for adding to the server in the future. Through this chapter we touched on some areas of best practices (such as keeping your boot volume separate from your data volume), went through basic DNS setup, showed how to create an Open Directory master, and explained how to set up a basic file sharing service. The rest of the book will go more in depth with those features and also cover other aspects and features available in Mac OS X Server 10. 6. 45 Chapter 3 Getting Deeper into File Sharing We covered a lot in the previous chapter: the installation of Mac OS X Server 10. 6, the initial configuration of Mac OS X Server 10. 6, some rather strange things like Open Directory and DNS, and the basics of user management and file sharing management. In this chapter, we´ll go deeper into file sharing, since that´s one of the basic things a server does: share files to users.
