	Unix Security: The Guide

Unix Security: The Guide is a condensed, comprehensive guide to all 
general areas of security (or lack thereof) inherent in standard unix 
systems. It is not required reading for people who read and understand 
technical security bulletins, however, it is a good guide for system 
administrators who wish to develop a strong grasp of security on their 
unix systems. It provides practical and dependable security advice in 
a condensed yet easy to read format. Even unix security experts can 
use The Guide to review commonly forgotten topics.

plain English:
