     Administering Large-scale Unix Systems
     Iain Roberts

In this talk I will discuss some of the differences between large
scale Unix management, with hundreds of servers, and smaller
environments.  This includes the capabilities of high end Unix/Linux
servers, functionality of commercial UNIX OSs, challenges of managing
servers in large bureaucratic companies, differences in implementing
security and UNIX management tools.


April 17 2004, 14:00, usual place.

No volunteers yet.  Do people feel an installfest or something
of the sort would be good at this time?
