The system administrator has many responsibilities. This chapter discusses tasks not covered in Chapter 11, including configuring user and group accounts, backing up files, scheduling tasks, general problem solving, and using the system log daemon, syslogd. The chapter concludes with a section on installing and using MySQL.

Configuring User and Group Accounts

More than a username is required for a user to be able to log in and use a system: A user must have the necessary files, directories, permissions, and usually a password to log in. At a minimum a user must have an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files and a home directory. This section describes several ways you can work with user accounts. Refer to Chapter 21 if you want to run NIS to manage the passwd database.
