Summary: If you run OpenBSD, this book will stay within arms reach
Comment: Most of the information is available from other sources and if your run OpenBSD and want to keep 50 howtos and a couple general books on Unix handy you can do without this book. However, I am lazy and I like having the information I need at my fingertips with syntax that works the first time on the operating system I am using.
The authors and Addison Wesley are to be congratulated for the fantastic layout, the "code" examples stand out, they are pithy and illustrate the point. The one exception to that is the IPsec VPN chapter. Also, it is really easy reading for such a bone breakingly technical book.
I particularly enjoyed the PF chapter, it is a first rate treatment of firewalling, covers the bases nicely. The backup chapter is also well done, but I would argue more strongly on behalf of level 0 (full) backups. It is a an important enough concept to get more than a sentence. The introduction to systrace was wonderful. I am not sure covering snort in 7 pages is a good idea, but the fundamentals are there. I know covering apache in 9 pages is asking for trouble since it tends to be internet reachable.
If you are looking for a platform with better networking capability than Linux, or if you are already running OpenBSD in anything other than a purely hobbyist fashion, you should strongly consider this book.
