while i haven't been in depth in the book, the examples they gave on the
website left me wondering about the quality of the book. (bear in mind my
reading of it has been standing at the bookshelf of a local borders
debating whether or not to buy it. so, as much as you can gain in about 30
minutes of flipping through, reading some sections, debating.)
for example, it has ipf rules supposedly for openbsd citing eth0.
openbsd has NO device named eth0. *linux* does.
ipf has not run correctly on Linux since the late 2.0 kernels and libc5.
several possibilities: the book is way dated. i'm reading things wrong.
the authors are dead wrong.
if its the latter, i can't reccomend the book. this is a simple oversight
suggesting too many other things in the book are suspect.
any clarification is welcome, otherwise i'll just have to go out and buy
the damned book and review it quickly.
