No idea about Rik Farrow, but I'm pretty sure the latter is Simson Garfield &
Gene Spafford's "Practical Unix & Internet Security", ISBN 1-56592-148-8,
published by O'Reilly & Associates.  O'Reilly also publishes "Computer
Security Basics", ISBN  0-937175-71-4, by Deborah Russell & G.T. Gangemi Sr.
The latter book is not particularly Unix (or any other OS) specific, and
covers things like the DOD Orange Book.
