[vpn] Building Linux VPNs

[Tina Bird]

Hi all -- We occasionally get questions about good
books on VPN technologies.  Well, New Riders has just 
released a new book on Linux-based VPN implementations.  
This book rocks.  Here's my Amazon review:

"I moderate the Virtual Private Networks mailing list on SecurityFocus. 
There aren't very many good books on VPNs, and those that are reasonable 
tend to be more focused on protocols and specifications, and less on how 
to get the darn things up and running. Oleg and Brian lay out the 
different choices in terms of technical architectures, helping the readers 
pick which solution is best for their needs. They provide great info on 
getting things up and working -- lots of examples -- and hurrah, lots of 
tips for troubleshooting. If you have to deploy a VPN and you want to do 
it quickly, inexpensively and securely, BUY THIS BOOK."

The authors are Oleg Kolesnikov & Brian Hatch.  You can
check it out at:

I receive no compensation for my rave comments -- Brian
is a friend of mine, but it's a great book even if you
don't know the authors.
