1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, 27 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This may have been a good book when it first appeared, now it seems outdated and trivial. It seems to be the only O'Reilly book that does not conform to the otherwise excellent O'Reilly style, both in the layout of the book as the text. Better invest a few pound more and buy the (imho) 5 star book Practical Unix and Internet Security by Garfinkel and Spafford (also from O'Reilly of course).
