Review by: Henrik Kramshoej on Feb. 15, 2012 :
Great little book about SSH - even though the name includes mastery it contains the things you should know if you work with OpenSSH.

I like the tone and writing style, and also specifically books that won't just tell you about features to use, but also have the guts to say "this feature is not to be used, never" and then won't even include it - root logins are bad, period!

Whether your a UNIX system administrator, user or enthusiast, you've probably used OpenSSH at least once in your life. SSH Mastery provides lots of good information for beginner and seasoned ssh users.

SSH Mastery also presents a lot of cool OpenSSH functionality without a lot of filler text. In around 150 pages, Mr. Lucas even manages to provide instructions for those users stuck on Windows.

This is my new goto reference of all things OpenSSH.
