Simpson Garfinkel and Gene Spafford, _Practical UNIX & Internet Security_, O'Reilly & Associates, (c) 1996, ISBN 1-565920148-8. Good for basic philosophy and a lot of common sense. For more current technical guidance, there are other books, including a New Riders imprint on Linux firewalls. -- Karsten M.
