If you surf over to , you will note that our own Poul-Henning Kamp is giving a presentation entitled "Confining the omnipotent root", and at you can read more about the presentation Joe Greco (no stranger to those of you at the cross-roads of USENET news administration and FreeBSD) is giving on the subject of how he has built a large (and highly scalable) USENET news server system on relatively inexpensive commodity components. For the security minded folks in the crowd who might be willing to look a bit further afield, you might be interested in the presentation Jon Lasser is giving on Bastille Linux (a ruggedized Red Hat, read more about it at ), or the presentation that Guido van Rooij is doing on "Real Stateful TCP Packet Filtering in IP-filter" (read more about it at ). Anyway, without further ado, I give you the official announcement: At the SANE 2000 web site ( http://www.nluug.nl/sane/ ) you will find full program details, on-line registration, hotel information & reservation forms, travel information and much more, regarding the SANE 2000 conference. ____ _ _ _ _____ ____ ___ ___ ___ / ___| / \ | \ | | ____| |___ \ / _ \ / _ \ / _ \ \___ \ / _ \ | \| | _| __) | | | | | | | | | | ___) / ___ \| |\ | |___ / __/| |_| | |_| | |_| | |____/_/ \_\_| \_|_____| |_____|\___/ \___/ \___/ http://www.nluug.nl/sane/ 2nd International SANE Conference May 22-25, 2000 Maastricht, The Netherlands A conference organized by the NLUUG, the UNIX User Group - The Netherlands co-sponsored by USENIX, the Advanced Computing Systems Association, and Stichting NLnet ---------------- Important dates: ---------------- Early registration deadline: April 7, 2000 Registration closing date : May 14, 2000 We are very pleased to present you the program for SANE 2000, an international conference on System Administration and Networking, focused on UNIX and IP networking. Going through the program, you will find renowned speakers for many interesting topics. SANE 2000 is the place where you will hear, discuss, then put to use the latest research, well-thought-out approaches, tools and techniques for practical system administration and security. Monday and Tuesday are your true opportunity for in-depth study! For two days, choose among three tracks of tutorials, covering topics like Perl/Tk, IPSEC, Sendmail, firewalls, DNS and general UNIX systems administration and led by experienced and respected instructors like Eric Allman, Jim Reid, Hugh Daniel, Walter Belgers, Hans van de Looy, Mark Overmeer, Jos Vos and Evi Nemeth. During the third and fourth day of SANE 2000 you will (after the keynote) be able to choose from two tracks of interesting presentations: the refereed papers track or the invited talks sessions. Hear about network management, security, modern file system techniques, IP internals, (b)leading edge developments, the use of open source software, and so on. You will find a remarkable line-up of speakers, including Brian Reid, Jeff Allen, Eric Allman, Barbara Dijker, Guido van Rooij, Mark Burgess, Joe Greco, Bastiaan Bakker and many, many more. On Tuesday and Wednesday you can also stroll along the exhibition area, where vendors will demonstrate their latest hardware and software products they hope will help you do your job more efficiently and effectively. Of course, there's also time to relax. Make sure you don't miss the social event (and conference dinner) on Wednesday evening. The conference ends on Thursday afternoon with the "The inSANE Quiz" where keywords like Hilarious! Fun! Educational! apply. Attend the quiz and be awed by the vast amounts of absolutely useless knowledge portrayed by the quiz candidates. Or, even better, register as a potential quiz candidate and test your cognitive powers against the world's masters of completely useless facts. Try to beat the reigning champion! SANE 2000 is hosted in the Maastricht Exposition and Conference Center, MECC, close to the medieval center of the city of Maastricht, in the south of the Netherlands, close to the borders with Belgium and Germany. Please join us. We hope to see you in Maastricht on May 22-25 at SANE 2000! Edwin H. Kremer, Program Co-Chair Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University Bob Eskes, Program Co-Chair Applied System's Research, Hollandse Signaalapparaten, Hengelo For The SANE 2000 Program Committee.
