About this title

Review:

"Michael W. Lucas is one of my favorite technical authors, and every book he writes is a must-read for IT professionals." - Richard Bejtlich, CSO, MANDIANT, and TaoSecurity blogger

"...SSH Mastery is a title that Unix users and system administrators like myself will want to keep within reach..." - Peter Hansteen

"This stripping-down of the usual tech-book explanations gives it the immediacy of extended documentation on the Internet. ...an in-depth presentation from someone who used OpenSSH to do a number of things, and paid attention while doing it." - Justin Sherrill, DragonFly BSD Digest
