OpenBSD Books On The Way

*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."

Bet the publisher isn't O'Reilly... by afabbro · 2003-03-12 14:49 · Score: 4, Interesting

Back in the 2.5ish days, I submitted a detailed proposal to O'Reilly to write an OpenBSD book. Their answer was "not interested, no market". I knew they were wrong...
