Hiya. I hope this is an appropriate post for this list... I'm looking for a unix admin job, preferably specialising in FreeBSD. I've spent the last three years doing unix admin as a third to a half of my job, with the rest being taken up with desktop and general support for Windows and MacOS machines. Currently I'm working for the Office of Student Services at Murdoch University, in Western Australia, where I'n the sole IT support person. I've had some experience with Solaris (1.1.1 (!), 2.5 - 2.6), lots of experience with FreeBSD (to 3.5), some experience with Mac OS X and Debian Linux. I've lots of experience with Mac OS, somewhat less experience with various flavours of windows, and a passing aquaintance with Cisco and 3Com routers. Here at Murdoch I've been setting up web (Apache), IMAP, SMTP and DHCP servers running under FreeBSD, as well as using Samba and Netatalk for file and print services. One of my more interesting projects has been setting up some old 486 machines as 'diskless' X terminals (they boot from the floppy drive because getting EPROMS blown is just too hard right now!). I'd also claim a solid working knowledge of PHP 3, Javascript, HTML, /bin/sh scripts, Java and C. Not that I'd claim to be a top programmer in any of these languages, but I can read the code, and write simple stuff that works. I wrote my first piece of x86 assembly for 10 years last night, and then spent hours figuring out why it segfaulted instead of returning nicely to the OS. It was a 'Doh! moment' when I found it, but I fixed that one (this wonderful asm program adds two numbers that are defined as .equ's, and returns the result to the os where you can print it out using 'echo $?'. Mostly I was learning about GNU as and gdb). Ideally, I'm looking for a position that's mostly unix admin, with some scope to develop my coding skills and knowledge further. In a perfect world I'd be able to make some kind of contribution back to the Open Source world that has provided all these great tools! I'm in Perth, Western Australia, at the moment (although that's probably obvious!), but I'm interested in moving and seeing a bit more of the world. I visited the US North East and loved it (hint hint).
