This is an exemplary book written in detailed, easy-to-understand language that makes working with and understanding the SSH protocol and programs very simple.
Being an "ordinary user" myself, there were parts of this book that I did not understand very well, in every single case, these were chapters "meant for" sysadmins and other demi-gods and the authors made sure to mention this fact.
The book is also organized with this in mind, and so your approach to this book really depends on what level of expertise you already have with computer networking. I found that to be a valuable asset, as I am sure to return to this book when I learn more.
In addition to all of that, I found it to be a remarkably good starter for learning about and understanding cryptography. It is not a cyptography or cryptanalysis primer, but it does a surprisingly good job of explaining what these are to the uninitiated.
It's without doubt an extremeley helpful book that can come in handy and educational for both the average user and the system administrator.
