It's an amazingly good book.  It has general security concepts and tools, 
analyses of common system services and daemons in terms of security risks, and 
case studies in the back.  It's a great book if you want to learn the ropes of 
Linux security.

Page 486, near the top.  (Oddly enough, that happens to be the processor in the 
first system that ran a filter ruleset written by me :)  The latest one has the 
correction in it (and it's listed in the web site's errata).

And I do thank you for providing the hosting, my dialup was getting pounded 
pretty badly for some reason (I later found out it was because it got 
published), and the new host has been very reliable.
