From atporter at primate.net Fri Jun 3 00:38:12 2005 From: atporter at primate.net (Aaron T Porter) Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2005 00:38:12 -0700 Subject: [buug] KVM over IP Message-ID: <20050603073812.GN1423@primate.net> This is the device I was talking about at the meeting. It's insanely handy, and not all that expensive -- especially when you figure out what your time is worth. It's an embeded linux device (note to self, check GPL compliance tomorrow), you can connect via SSH and tunnel a VNC connection to your KVM. Was a real time saver when we were debugging our new PXE setup, and the WinTel guys are excited about using it on their boxes as well. http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?ProductID=SV1110IPEXT or http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=635396 From mp at rawbw.com Thu Jun 16 07:11:03 2005 From: mp at rawbw.com (Michael Paoli) Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 07:11:03 -0700 Subject: [buug] Opportunity: (mostly?) Minneapolis, MN; hands-on hardware, Solaris/HP-UX/Red Hat/SuSE Message-ID: <1118931063.42b188777f9ac@webmail.rawbw.com> The work group I'm in has a quite immediate opening to fill. Most immediately we need to cover an impending vacancy in Minneapolis, MN, which at bare minimum requires some technically competent hands-on hardware coverage (Sun SPARC systems running mostly Solaris SPARC 8, and Hewlett-Packard x86 systems running Red Hat, at that location). Most other coverage can be done remotely (we have folks in San Francisco, but by no means to excess), but we do need an available body in Minneapolis, MN for hardware coverage (installs, servicing support, troubleshooting, etc.). Ideally we'd like to get someone in Minneapolis, MN who's rather[1] to quite Senior level[2] skilled UNIX/LINUX (Solaris 8, Red Hat AS 3.0, HP-UX 11.11, SuSE 8.1), someone who can work quite well and efficiently rather independently (the rest of the support group is in San Francisco), is strong in the operating systems mentioned (most notably Solaris SPARC 8 and Red Hat AS 3.0, as those are on the hardware in Minneapolis, MN, competency/expertise in the others mentioned is a significant plus), strong in scripting(/programming) capabilities (most notably Perl, and at least one Bourne-like shell (Bourne/Korn/POSIX/bash). Looks like management is most inclined to cover at least the hands-on-hardware minimal coverage for Minneapolis, MN ASAP (likely filling with interim contractor(s) as necessary), and work on filling something closer to what we'd ideally like in Minneapolis, MN, as soon as we're reasonably able to (full time employee position) ... and if we're absurdly lucky (hey, our group can dream, right?) we'd get someone who's available immediately in Minneapolis, MN on a contract basis, meets everything we'd desire in a candidate to fill the position as an employee, and would be interested/willing/able to convert from contractor to employee at some future date. It's rather/quite improbable management would be inclined to backfill what can be done remotely by adding a person outside of Minneapolis, MN (but if the inclination changes, or something opens up that's definitely local (San Francisco) ... wouldn't hurt to have qualified resumes handy). If you are or may be interested, or know someone who is or may be (or have specific questions), please feel free to drop me a note, pass resume to me (or URL to resume), etc., to my WORK e-mail address ( reply should work if you're doing this direct from the e-mail, if not, or to confirm e-mail address, this should provide sufficient hint to determine/confirm my work e-mail address: echo cnbyvzvp at jryyfsnetb.pbz | tr abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm ). Please also indicate availability for Minneapolis, MN (candidates which aren't available for Minneapolis, MN would likely just go on "file" for potential future consideration). footnotes/references: 1. http://www.sage.org/pubs/8_jobs/core.mm#Intermediate 2. http://www.sage.org/pubs/8_jobs/core.mm#Senior From jammer at weak.org Fri Jun 17 14:04:18 2005 From: jammer at weak.org (Jon McClintock) Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 14:04:18 -0700 Subject: [buug] [nbs@sonic.net: Logo contest for Picn*x14 (Linux 14th anniversary picnic & BBQ) -- also, problem sending email to BUUG via form] Message-ID: <20050617210418.GB1299@weak.org> ----- Forwarded message from Bill Kendrick ----- Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 13:33:37 -0700 From: Bill Kendrick To: buug-owner at weak.org, jammer at weak.org Subject: Logo contest for Picn*x14 (Linux 14th anniversary picnic & BBQ) -- also, problem sending email to BUUG via form Hi there! I had trouble sending a short note to the BUUG via the "Contact Us" form (http://www.weak.org/buug/mail.html). It resulted in a 'permission denied' when submitting to 'mail.cgi'. Anyway, here's the long version. :^) I was hoping someone could pass this on to the other BUUG members, perhaps via the 'buug at weak.org' mailing list, if that'd be appropriate? Thanks!!! -bill! --cut-- This August marks the 14th birthday of the Linux kernel, and the local Linux community is once again throwing a picnic and barbecue to celebrate!

So forgive me ahead of time. I am trying to figure out how to configure my DHCP server on my FreeBSD server such that it supports Option 82 AND logs the information in a database so I can search the database for historical info. Has anybody tried either one or both of these? Input would be most helpful. Thank you Daniel
