O'Reilly to Release Managing Internet Information Services at Internet
World

November 11, 1994 -- SEBASTOPOL, CA -- O'Reilly & Associates will release
the first book to provide a thorough description of how to create services
for the millions of Internet users, Managing Internet Information
Services: World Wide Web, FTP, Gopher, and More, at Internet World in
Washington, D.C. on December 6, 1994. This definitive book covers why a
company would want to offer Internet services, how to select which ones to
provide, and in-depth instructions for creating, maintaining, and
integrating them.

The book includes coverage of Internet servers for World Wide Web, Gopher,
FTP, Finger, Telnet, WAIS (Wide Area Information Services), and email
services. By using this book as a guide, anyone with a suitable computer
and Internet connection can become an "Internet Publisher." Services on
the Internet allow instant distribution and frequent updates of any kind
of information. Companies can provide services to their customers
(catalogs, support, news, email communication, and detailed product
information) and employees (information distribution to one site or
many).

Managing Internet Information Services is an invaluable reference for the
UNIX system administrator who will build, run, and maintain the service
software itself. In addition, parts of the book are designed for the Data
Librarian, the person responsible for creating or arranging the
information that the service presents. The book helps those who offer
Internet services to divide up the job of running them.

In addition, the book describes how to run services and still maintain the
security of Internet-connected machines, and how to run services when
either the service provider or users have firewall computers protecting
internal networks from the Internet.
