security. The first part of the book covers standard Unix
and Unix security basics, with particular emphasis on
passwords. The second section covers enforcing security on
the system. Of particular interest to the Internet user are
the sections on network security, which address many
of the common security problems that afflict Internet Unix
users. Four chapters deal with handling security incidents,
and the book concludes with discussions of encryption,
physical security, and useful checklists and lists of
resources. The book lives up to its name; it is filled with
specific references to possible security holes, files to
check, and things to do to improve security. This
book is an excellent complement to this handbook.
