The best security related book I've read is the "Building Internet Firewalls" by Zwicky, Cooperand Chapman (O'Reilly). While it doesn't cover programming as such, it does give you a very good understanding of how security works. Maybe some of the more advanced Unix programming books (by O'Reilly) would have some information for you. Mind you, I haven't seen any books purely about "Security programming" (at least here, in Sweden), and I am quite an avid reader of computer litterature. I think you would be better of getting oe of the O'Reilly bibles on unix systemsor networkprogramming, and work from there. -Fredrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
