Dr McKusick said the words "Next > edition" the other day but I think it's still just a glimmer in his eye. I for one am _really_ looking forward to it. :-) (please, please...) Meanwhile, there is this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html (maybe: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html too, sections about kernel-debugging and stuff...) I was told that "designing bsd rootkits", No Starch Press, might be considered an introduction, too. Have layed my hands on it, but not my eyes yet... gregory
