107: DNS is one of the oldest protocols on the Internet, and was designed

112: default configuration, this book thoroughly targets the extensions
113: which are available in the port net/isc-bind. DNS Security
114: Extensions, or DNSSEC, hardens DNS. But learning DNSSEC requires
115: wading through years of obsolete tutorials, dead ends, and
116: inscrutable standards. Strengths and weaknesses of DNSSEC are
117: discussed, some of which may explain why OpenBSD does not support the
118: extended features by default.

183: <dd>
1.52 millert 184: At 549 pages plus an index, <a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0201549794">this book</a> must be considered comprehensive.
1.15 philen 185: McKusick, Bostic and Karels are well known as prime movers at
186: Berkeley CSRG (Computer Systems Research Group) during the 4.3/4.4BSD
187: period. This book covers the 4.4 and 4.4-Lite releases, and discusses
188: everything you wanted to know about how the system operates. Not

197: The Jolitzes built the first port of BSD to the PC-386 architecture,

199: architecture. The earliest versions, called "386bsd", were described
1.46 david 200: in articles in <em>Dr. Dobbs Journal</em>. This book goes beyond the articles,
