Go for the old standbys like CheswickBellovin.  Very little of the
security game is built on particular application specifics.  A whole
lot is built on patterns and behaviour.

Just another title :

Maximum Linux Security from Sams written by Anonymous.
ISBN 0-672-31670-6
LCCCN 99-61434
From september 1999.

Beside some theorie, it has a lot of practical info, like working with
pasw crackers, scanners 

It starts with installing linux itself, encryption, coding, internet
securitty .

Hope this helps.

You should check out the security white papers published  by Lance
Spitzner at http://www.enteract.com/~lspitz/pubs.html.  The Know Your
Enemy series is very good, as is the Armoring Linux paper.  There's a lot
of stuff there that you'll want to check out.  That site should keep you
busy for a while.
