This book is written by system administrators for system administrators. If you're looking for a complete idiot or dummy guide, this book is not for you. We're talking to administrators who have installed a Unix-like operating system before. Almost any will do, but this book is all about what sets FreeBSD and OpenBSD apart from other Unices. You'll get the most out of this book if you're comfortable administering BSD operating systems and want to take your experience one step farther.

Administrators at various skill levels and in organizations of any size can benefit from secure BSD systems. Junior administrators who know how to get a Unix system off the ground can use this book to develop a sound foundation in systems security. Experienced administrators, like experienced cooks, will find new recipes that they can add to their existing repertoire. If you're part of (or all of) a small staff that runs only a handful of servers, you'll see how choosing one of the BSDs can let you spend less time on security concerns and more on your other duties. If you're part of a large staff running many servers, you'll see how BSD servers can be solid pillars in your infrastructure. They're easy to deploy and scale, and maintaining them is a breeze. Securing them is easy enough, too, with the help of this book.
