NAME

       intro - introduction to system administration

DESCRIPTION

       The commands described in this chapter are intended only for system ad‐
       ministration tasks.  On traditional Unix systems, use of these routines
       are typically restricted to the superuser (root).

       System  administration  commands  are  usually  kept  in  either /sbin,
       /usr/sbin, or /etc.  Because of the lack of user file permissions under
       GNO,  it  is  often possible for non-privaledged users to execute these
       commands.  Therefore, in the interest of system integrity, these direc‐
       tories should not be in the PATH of any user other than the superuser.

       The  manual  page syntax of this chapter conforms to that of Chapter 1,
       Commands and Applications.
