Haha! No, you don't! :wink:

I have 'Absolute OpenBSD' by Michael W. Lucas. It's a good beginner-to-intermediate book. It's good enough that I don't regret spending money on it. Outside of the links on the OpenBSD website it's all I've read.

I've been reading Absolute OpenBSD by Michael Lucas and Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF by Jacek Artymiak. Goto www.devguide.net to get Building Firewalls... It's a basic-intermediate book as well. First few chapters are basic installation, etc.. then moves into pf scenarios for the other 3/4's of the book.

Which one is your fav so far?

Here's another vote for "Absolute OpenBSD". It's a great resource for beginners to intermediate users.

I'm going to say Building Firewalls... Don't get me wrong, Absolute OpenBSD is good, but it's more of an overview and an extension of the faq's (so far). Building Firewalls... is down and dirty so far and I can't wait for the 2nd half "The OpenBSD Gazetteer". If you got the funds, buy them both. :P
