I have the Postfix and IMAP books for the purpose of understanding building a mail server with virtual domains and virtual users. Since then, I wrote a post that links to a HOWTO that I found that gives a step-by-step solution to my server needs.

I just noticed another bit that seems to have helped on my n-th install of FreeBSD 7.x: On P. 122, after installing openssh-portable, it seems we should enter the following: # rehash I never did it on that install, and it always gave me an old version when testing via telnet-ing to port 22. This time it worked great with "rehash." This might be obvious to veteran *-nix admins, but I'm learning. I find Hong's book to be outstanding as a practical setup guide! I also have Absolute FreeBSD and Wicked Cool Shell Scripts. I'm wondering about the Postfix, IMAP, and PF books you also have in your book list. Are these dated? I have them on my Amazon wishlist. We use Leopard Server for mail, firewall, etc., and we're building a FreeBSD server on some killer hardware to match as closely as we can to Leopard Server. So I'm learning a TON of Unix and loving it. O how I wish I had converted sooner! I've found UNIX in a Nutshell, 4th ed. from O'Reilly to be great for BSD and OS X. Thanks for the errata notes.
