I noticed O'reilly's Practial UNIX and Internet Security in the recommended security book list here and it seems like it would be a solid reference book to keep handy.
However, it was published in early 2003 so I have to wonder about whether some of the material might be slightly dated. I'd assume that the majority of the core concepts would be virtually unchanged, but because there is a 2.5 year gap between publication and the present I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to supplement it with something a little newer to make sure all the bases are covered.
Has anybody had any first hand experience with this book (or a good understanding of unix security) that may be able to shed some light on it for me?
Much appreciated.
