Hi (again) all, SLUG's monthly meeting will be held on Friday the 27th of October, featuring talks and SLUGlets. Meetings are open to the general public, and free of charge.
This month's meeting will be at our new venue, the IBM building, Level 13, 601 Pacific Highway, St. Leonards. So we can adjust to the venue, we ask that people arrive 15 minutes early so we can all get into the building and start on time. A committee member will also be standing outside the building to meet, greet, and provide directions to the venue. = Talks = General Talk: Ken Yap - Migrating authentication from passwd/shadow/smbpasswd to LDAP for small networks Tired of keeping password files on a handful of Linux machines in sync? Heard that LDAP is the solution, but the documentation made your head hurt? This talk will show you how to set up LDAP. As a bonus you get to use LDAP as an address directory for email, etc. Technical Talk: Peter Miller - Compilers and Factories Peter will be presenting a technique that separates the grammar from the semantic processing, using simple C++ polymorphism. The use of factory methods is described, as well as some unexpected benefits and simplifications. SLUGlets Topic: Directory administration and tools Following on from Ken's talk, we'll be looking at best practices for directory administration, and the tools to aid you in your directory endeavors! * 6:30pm: Open Doors * 6.45pm: The Usual Suspects * 7:00pm: General Talk: Ken Yap - Migrating authentication from passwd/shadow/smbpasswd to LDAP for small networks * 8:20pm: Technical Talk: Peter Miller - Compilers and Factories * 8:20pm: SLUGlets topic: Directory administration and tools * 9:20pm: Dinner: (TBD) See you all there!
