本書では、Red Hat Linuxのシステム管理においてとくに重要な2つの項目、パフォーマンスチューニングとセキュリティについて重点的に解説する。本書で紹介するチューニングソリューションを用いれば、Red Hat Linuxシステムのパフォーマンスを改善することができる。また、本書の後半で紹介する実際的なセキュリティソリューションを用いれば、システムのセキュリティを大幅に強化することができる。実際的なソリューションを実装し、パフォーマンスやセキュリティ問題の解決のための時間を節約したいと望む人に読んでいただきたい。

Red Hat Linux Security and Optimization is a reference for power-users and administrators covering all security issues, including Filesystems Security, Securing root accounts and Firewalls. Other Security books talk about how to apply certain patches to fix a security problem -- but this book shows you how to secure all applications so that the chances for a security breach are automatically minimized. Application performance benchmarking will also be covered. This book introduces you to many application-specific performance and benchmarking techniques and shows you how to tune your computer as well as your networks. This book covers all the primary Red Hat Linux Applications such as Apache Web Server, WuFTP, FTP server, BIND DNS server, Sendmail SMTP server and focuses on how to enhance security for each of them.
