Review: Secure Architectures with OpenBSD</a>, |
|
Unix Review, July, 2004 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
UNIX luminary Peter Salus reviews the book |
|
<i>Secure Architectures with OpenBSD</i> by |
|
Brandon Palmer & Jose Nazario. |
|
"I view OpenBSD as the most secure operating system available. It |
|
certainly has far fewer holes than Windows, and fewer than any |
|
flavor of Linux I've looked at... |
|
Most of the chapters (e.g., XWindow, DNS, etc.) are very fine; the |
|
emphasis on security is thorough and well-instantiated. The frequent |
|
code examples are appropriate and enlightening. On an information |
|
level, Palmer and Nazario are very good." |
|
His only criticisms have to do with production issues: incomplete copy editing |
|
by the publisher leading to un-explained acronyms, poor cross-referencing |
|
and even spelling/wording errors. |
|
Overall he seems to like the book (and the operating system, of course). |
