Publisher's Synopsis
The primary goal of the book is to provide Unix administrators of any caliber with a practical, relevant guide to the security of their systems and network. Additionally, the book aims at helping readers create an overall security policy that goes beyond individual machines and operating systems. It is divided into parts: systems security, network security, testing and maintaining security, and incident response. Unix system administrators are the primary readership, but many other readers will find the book useful: senior administrators and IT managers responsible for a comprehensive security plan/policy, Unix enthusiasts looking to secure a home or test network, and administrators of other operating systems seeking guidance in an approach to system security.
