I use Nemeth, et.al's "Unix System Administartion Handbook, 2nd. Ed." Great book, govers BSD/OS but has good general admin tips. For security, the various O'Reilly books should cover it in sufficient detail. > I already ordered "DNS & BIND" and was going to order "The Complete > FreeBSD", but it's released in 1996 and I am wondering is it still > "up-to-date"? The Complete FreeBSD covers 2.1.x, and for system setup, it could be called "out of date." But half of the thing is printed manpages, and there is some general-reference material in there.
