The System Administrator
Most of the procedures describing how to set up your
UNIX PC are usually performed by a person designated as
the system administrator. A UNIX PC system
administrator does not necessarily have to be a UNIX
expert or even an experienced computer system manager.
In many cases, UNIX PC system administration is
accomplished by a computer user who is interested in
learning more about the UNIX PC and managing the system
tasks with which others do not want to be concerned.
In fact, the UNIX PC makes it easy for a new computer
user to manage a multiuser computer system by using the
same simple methods for selecting commands and
functions used for any Office task.
The UNIX PC separates the administration tasks into two
Administration menus: an Administration menu available
from the Office of any user and the Administration menu
available from the Office of install.
The Administratjon Menu
The Administration menu available from the Office of
any user login contains selections associated with
common user maintenance tasks such as changing your own
password or backing up and restoring folders and files
on the hard disk. Other tasks include installing and
removing software, setting up mail connections, and
displaying system information. These tasks are used
frequently by most users. The following Administration
menu displays these tasks:
