Shame on you for not remembering! ;-) Here's the info:

_Essential System Administration_ (second edition), by AEleen Frisch, 
O'Reilly & Associates, Inc 1995. ISBN: 1-56592-127-5

It's a marvellous book. She covers a huge number of *nix variants and
dialects, includeing *bsd and linux. Run, don't walk, to your bookstore
for your copy if you need to learn unix sysadmin.
