If you are new to unix, or, like me, you've never had a root password
before, you might be interested in a book I've just come across:
"Unix for Super-Users" by E. Foxley
Addison-Wesley
(International Computer Science Series)
ISBN 0 201 14228 7
Some of the info is a little dated now, but it's a good (and cheap)
introduction to the the things superusers need to know, but ordinary
users generally don't. It's also not bad as an introduction to Unix
itself (sh & csh, tar, mount, cpp, make, nroff etc.).
