Summary: Worth getting!
Review: 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!
Rating:
Summary: Excellent book, great resource guide for SSH
Review: 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.

Summary: Probably Not Everything You Need
Review: If you are looking to implement SSH without previous experience with it, this book is not going to get it done for you. If you are looking for a book that describes the differences between differnt implementations of SSH and a some nifty management and deployment options then this may be for you. You might condsider this book if you were deciding how to best deploy an SSH product in a large organization.
To quote the author, ".... this book does not cover the ins and outs of SSH as a protocol...... Instead, it covers the ins and outs of implementing and optimizing SSH." Products covered include OpenSSH, OpenSSH(Win32), SSH from SSH Communications, VShell, Secure CRT, Putty, F-Secure, Mindterm, and WinSCP.
The author has substantial knowledge of the different SSH products. The author describes some standard and not-so standard ways SSH can be used in an organization to get the job done. This book is pretty easy to read and the information is useful.
On the downside, I would have liked to buy just one book for SSH. I use OpenSSH. Unfortunately this book didn't give me enough details to satisfy me. I need to know how something works before I deploy it. For OpenSSH, I recommend the SANS Press book on "OpenSSH" as a how to guide to fill the void.
I give this book 3 stars.
