See my classnotes at http://www.peak.org/~mountainman/classnotes/LinuxSysAdmin/ClassNotes.html Go to the links for lesson 10. The lab exercises are written to be how-tos that my students can use in the Real World after they've taken my classes. While the lab #10 is not generalized enough to be a recipe book that will work in every situation, there should be enough there for you to learn how it works and intelligently apply it to your situation.
