Network Security

[JJ Neff]

The book was entitled "Security and Lies" by Bruce Schneier.  It is a general
IT security book looking from a top down view.  Gives the "big picture" THen I
recemmend "Hacking Exposed" (which is in its 3rd edition) and "Hacking Linux"
By the same authors (in fact the book looks exactly the same but for the
title).

Any modern version shoudl be fine.  We are slowly becoming Mandrake experts but
I want to take Roberts suggestion and try LFS (again).
