OpenBSD Books On The Way

Posted by timothy on from the tightly-closed-fully-open dept.

*no comment* writes "Well with all the advancements in PF and secure code wouldn't it be nice if someone would write a book on OpenBSD??? Oh wait, someone is. A guy named Jacek Artymiak is doing just that. The OpenBSD Gazetteer is scheduled for release shortly after the release of what may be the best release ever of OpenBSD (IMHO). Vastly improved PF, ALTQ, and BIND 9 is now default, not to mention procop stack protection. Out of the box it's ready to go as a firewalling packet-filtering bandwidth-throttling machine. A thread had started to pick up over at deadly.org."

    This is fantastic news! I've been an avid fan of OpenBSD for quite sometime now and this type of concise reference guide has been needed for sometime now. Granted the OpenBSD documentation available on the Internet is extremely well done, but I think it'll be great to have it consolidated in book form especially when Jacek will update the book with each full version upgrade of OpenBSD.
