I am looking for a good Unix system administration book that also includes
references to FreeBSD specific topics.  Is there such a thing?  I am
comfortable with the basics most of the time, and can make my way around
some of the more advanced areas (I can compile a customised kernel, change
some sendmail rules, etc), so I don't want to get a beginner's guide,
eventhough there's a lot of basic stuff I don't know (just stumbled on the
'which' command the other day!).  I looked into a couple of books:

- Essential System Administration 2nd Ed. (Aleen Frisch), published by
  O'Reilly - no mention of FreeBSD at all (Linux is acknowledged)

- Unix System Administration Handbook 2nd Ed. (Nemeth, etc) - it is in
  back order at the local bookstore, but I have the first editon (1989)
  and FreeBSD wasn't around then (or was it?) 

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Antonio
