[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 12th January 2004

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings All,

Hope everyone enjoyed the 2.6 talk from Dave Jones, last month, and the
Dinner. Many thanks to Dave, and how timely, what with 2.6 officially
released now. Also thanks to James Holden for organising the dinner.

Ok it a new year so happy new year etc. At this months meeting we have Rik
Wade giving "An Introduction to IP Networking". He hopes to cover "the
basics of IP networking, using examples of home and small business
topologies. We will cover the basics of Ethernet and IP and move on to how
IP packets are routed between networks. We will assume static routing but
will briefly introduce the concept of dynamic routing protocols. If time
permits, we will include some discussion of the relationship between TCP
and IP using the example of a basic IP firewall."

Our second speaker is Peter Corlett, who is going to talk on "Security
contexts and vservers". Peter will cover what Security Contexts/vservers
are, how to install, general use with examples and gotchas. He'll also
cover other approaches to achieve the same ends.

Hope to see a lot people on Monday. Should be a good session.

cheers
Jim
