Excellent book, great resource guide for SSH

I found this book very informative, even for those who have a great understanding of SSH. Author has excellent approach to presenting the subject at hand. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about SSH.

Worth getting!

Finally, a book that actually tells me how to deploy SSH. I read the ORA book about SSH, but I'm ready to present the "how" to my manager and I needed a book. This is the one!
