Building Linux and OpenBSD Firewalls, by Wes Sonnenrrich & Tom Yates
  John Wiley & Sons, (c)2000 ISBN 0-471-35366-3

Seems to be aging a bit (don't think it talks about the
"new" pf for example) but it's still very good.

Methinks this book is also referenced in the bibilographies
of both Bob's books.

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;Anyone have some pointers for good FreeBSD books?  I'm particularly
&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;interested in using it as a firewall, and for serving up some web page
&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;to local clients.
&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; &gt;Why?
&gt;&gt; &gt;
&gt;&gt; &gt;For 99% of applications BSD has no advantages over Linux.
&gt;&gt; &gt;
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; For the sole purpose of learning a new OS, of course.  I work in 
&gt;&gt; academia, so I'm constantly searching out new things to learn to better 
&gt;&gt; myself, and thus, to better the research goals of the Institute.  I had 
&gt;&gt; a spare dual-proc box laying around, and two spare gigE nics, so I 
&gt;&gt; figured...why not learn how to make a FreeBSD firewall?  I've done 
&gt;&gt; firewalls with RedHat, IPCOP, SmoothWall, and purchased DLink and 
&gt;&gt; Linksys solutions, and now want to move on to someting else.  :)
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Thanks!
