In 2003 Jacek Artymiak published in a book called Building Firewalls
with OpenBSD and PF -- one of the earliest physical publications about
using PF.  This was sold on the OpenBSD website and many enjoyed having
that early hard copy reference.

   However for much of the past 7 years since then, Jacek has been
promising a book called OpenBSD Command Line Companion.  The problem is
that he keeps saying (or at least letting people think) it is finished,
and then takes orders and payments on his website: www.devguide.net,
either for a PDF or a hardcopy of it.  Something similar has happened for
a purported 2nd revision of Firewalls.

   We also have attempted to purchase these books for resale and have
nothing to show for our $2,500 pre-payment for 100 books.  Meanwhile, I
have asked Jacek not to use my name or the Computer Shop when promoting
his book, however he continues to do so.  Unless this situation is ever
resolved, please do not be misled by these references.
