After getting readers started with OpenBSD, the authors explain system configuration and administration, then explore more exotic hardware and advanced topics. Every chapter of the book addresses the issue of security because security is integrated into almost every facet of OpenBSD. Examples appear throughout the book, and the authors provide source code and system details unavailable anywhere else. This goes well beyond the basics and gives readers information they will need long after they have installed the system. Key topic coverage includes:-Installation and upgrade details-Basic system usage in OpenBSD versus other Unix systems-Third-party software via packages and the ports tree-SMTP services in OpenBSD-Web services with Apache-Using OpenBSD as a firewall-OpenBSD as a Kerberos V client and server-Use of Ipsec-Configuration and use of IPv6-Network intrusion detection «
