In chapter 7. Security of the Debian system on page 373:

The first text paragraph on page 373 in section 7.5.1 talks about the archive key, which was signed by one of the FTP masters, Anthony Towns. Later in the paragraph, Anthony suddenly becomes James. It should just say Anthony all along

Discussion

When the section in question was written (in 2004), the archive key had been signed by James Troup, who is also an FTP master. When the delay of sarge pushed the release of this book into 2005, I chose to rework the sections with the new key for 2005, which had been signed by Anthony Towns instead. Obviously, I was not careful about the change.

Feedback

Richard Bejtlich, Tao Security: Prospective TDS readers should understand that this book is unlike any I have read on operating systems. Readers will not have to skip pages on setting up Apache or configuring BIND, thankfully! Instead, TDS covers core system administration subjects to a degree I have not seen elsewhere. [...] Krafft takes readers on an inside tour of the how and why of Debian. Rather than just explaining a technique or tool, the author discusses the overall problem, possible ways to approach it, and Debian's solutions. He presents pros and cons for each, and then demonstrates usage with command line syntax and sample output.
