Jim, I'm currently reading Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security, and thus far it is proving to be a fantastic book covering many advanced security topics specifically related to BSD. I suggested you order a copy from Amazon<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596006268/qid=1147325988/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-5661269-0811354?s=books&v=glance&n=283155>; it's well worth the time...
