Book Description

August 2000
Security is increasingly a concern among system administrators, including those using Red Hat Linux. Learn Red Hat Linux Security shows experienced system administrators a process for implementing Red Hat Linux into an overall security management system. In addition to a review of the basic computer security issues common to all systems, the book provides an in-depth discussion of security issues concerning major components of the Red Hat Linux filesystem; tools for maintaining security; and advanced security techniques.

The appendixes contain definitions for terms and acronyms used in networking and Internet security; Linux security commands; Linux security weaknesses; sites related to security; and listings of networking HOWTOs, networking RFCs, and man pages for networking administration and maintenance.

The companion CD-ROM contains the official Red Hat Linux 6.2 operating system for Intel computers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely vague and general, September 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Learn Red Hat Linux Security: Includes Red Hat Linux 6.0 (Paperback)
I was hoping to learn more about the securing a linux system, but found that this book only skims the surface. Mostly it speaks about what security is in general and only points out some of the parts of linux that need to be secured such as passwords. This book was written for the absolute linux beginner that doesn't even know what a shell is. I guess I was looking for more of a how-to: something that will talk about some of the holes that have been found in the past, how they were fixed, what types of security breaches are common, and how to prevent them.

I have read this entire book, and I am no more secure than I was before reading this book!
