Is Linux inherently more secure than other server software? Most Linux system administrators think so. More than 75% of them have never experienced an unwanted intrusion, and 94% have operated virus-free. But now that Linux is moving into the mainstream, that story might change. That's why this concise but comprehensive guide to providing the best possible security for Linux servers is so timely.
Packed with examples and contextual background to help administrators, developers and other Linux users understand the complex issues involved, Linux Server Security covers both background theory and practical step-by-step instructions for hardening a server that runs Linux, including firewalling, DNS, mail, Apache, remote administration and other common services. This new edition also has coverage of LDAP, MySQL, POstgreSQL, and Mail Delivery Agents. For those with servers running Linux, this is an essential title.
