    <Plug> You should have Wes's new book, it's a good read. </Plug>
    <Plug2> I've got a chapter in the upcoming Hardening Linux. </Plug2>

    <Rant> Neither the new editions of Firewalls and Internet Security, nor
    Building Internet Firewalls have this list mentioned in them, even though
    at least some of the authors of both books are on the list!</Rant>

    Yes, but a lot of that is out of date.

    So, here's the thing- if you think that what's out there isn't good
    enough, and you have the time and expertise to fix at least some of it-

    in fixing it.
