I agree that the books are great, but if you're coming to the field cold,
reading books is a tough way to start out. MIS Training Institute of
Framingham, MA (I have no connection with them) teaches a great three-day
class (with a follow-on two-day workshop) on the audit and security of
unix-based operating systems. They also get into a pretty good treatment
of tcp/ip. It assumes no prior knowledge of UNIX, but does expect
familiarity with the basic concepts. When I took it 2-3 years ago, Ed
Dorsey was teaching it, and did an excellent job.
