root be gone

[Kirt Karl]

Hi Keith,

First off I'm new to PLUG and just want to say hi. In answer to your
question... Maximum Linux Security is a great book. I'm a newbie and it has
helped understand security a lot better. The book is very comprehensive
including topics like biometric security. It seems to be pretty distro
independent. It's written by a cracker who's put the exploits in the book to
use an done jail time for it. You should check it out. Its published by
SAMS, written by anonymous, and the ISBN is 0-672-31670-6.

Cheers, Kirt
