We're also looking for any ideas you have for Guru Is In sessions, Work-in-Progress Reports, posters, and training sessions. The theme for LISA '09 is "Putting Theory into Practice." The Call for Participation with submission guidelines and sample topics can be found on the USENIX Web site at: http://www.usenix.org/lisa09/cfpa Since 1987, the annual LISA conference has become the premier meeting place for professional system and network administrators. System administrators of all ranks, from novice to veteran, and of all specialties meet to exchange ideas, sharpen skills, learn new techniques, debate current issues, and mingle with colleagues and friends. The conference's diverse group of participants is matched by an equally broad spectrum of activities: * A training program for both beginners and experienced attendees covers many administrative topics, ranging from basic administrative procedures to using cutting-edge technologies. * Refereed papers present the latest developments and ideas related to system and network administration. * Workshops, invited talks, and panels discuss important and timely topics in depth and typically include lively and/or controversial debates and audience interaction. * Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs) and poster sessions provide brief looks ahead to next year's innovations. GET INVOLVED! * Submit a paper. * Propose a tutorial topic. * Suggest an invited talk or panel discussion. * Share your experience by leading a Guru Is In session. * Create and lead a workshop. * Present a Work-in-Progress Report (WiP) or submit a poster. * Organize a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session. * Email an idea to the program chair: lisa09ideas at usenix.org We look forward to hearing from you!

No speakers are arranged, but if anyone wants to speak it would be good to let directors@ know ahead of time if you can. If nobody wishes to speak we'll just be doing the usual pizza and drinks and it'll turn into a semi-social evening.

I started to write a very long narrative, but came to my senses. Here's the RCS log of a script I wrote that handles NIC initialization for my laptop (running FreeBSD). (The revisions prior to 17 Dec were lost in an unfortunate incident involving an unclean shutdown while running a not-quite-as-stable-as-might-be-desired version of FreeBSD CURRENT; while the script itself was OK, the ,v file was toast. But it's the 2 recent log entries that are of interest, anyway.) g1-37(8.0-C)[1] rlog /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nic_init RCS file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/RCS/nic_init,v Working file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nic_init head: 1.3 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 3; selected revisions: 3 description: Script to find an appropriate NIC and establish a network connection. ---------------------------- revision 1.3 date: 2008/12/18 18:52:44; author: root; state: Exp; lines: +47 -3 I'm getting tired of writing clever code to circumvent perverse people. After my last change, I figured I'd be good, as merely getting "association" wouldn't necessarily get an IP address (which would come from a DHCP server), and if wpa_supplicant managed to acquire an association to some AP I didn't want to mess with anyway, the code I committed would see that there may well be an association, but there waas no IP address (other than 0.0.0.0) assigned, so it wasn't worth losing sleep over -- just try my routine (which this script starts up, since obviously can't figure out how to use wpa_supplicant in any way that makes a particle of sense or is of any use. Boy, was I in for a rude surprise! It seems that some AT&T customer (based on the IP addresses returned in /etc/resolv.conf as nameservers) has an AP configured to allow random associations, and even DHCP "service" -- that is DESIGNED to be BROKEN! Yes: we get an IP address, netmask, and a default gateway that we CAN'T EVEN PING! This is STUPID. And PERVERSE. OK. THIS version of the start-up script will check for all of that perversity, and I *believe* it should manage to evade it. I shudder to think what absurd mal-configuration I'll need to code around next. ---------------------------- revision 1.2 date: 2008/12/17 14:10:46; author: root; state: Exp; lines: +9 -4 wpa_supplicant was getting a NIC "active", but dhclient wasn't getting an address, leaving the NIC's IP address as 0.0.0.0 -- which was NOT useful. This code should evade that particular form of ... helpfulness.

Yeah, if someone wants to see the /bin/sh script, I can share that; fair warning: it's in the BSD "rc.d" form (intended to work with rcorder(8), though the techniques used should be relatively portable). Certainly more so than some bash(1) constructs I've encountered. :-} Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill david at catwhisker.org Depriving a girl or boy of an opportunity for education is evil.
