jobs(a)muug.mb.ca is up and running. The purpose is for companies to post job listings and for people to post resumes. As with the other lists only list members can directly post to the list. For non-members a posting will have to be approved (usually a very short delay). I will shortly be configuring mailman to remove email addresses from the archives. This will also change any mailto: URLs. ____________________________________________________________ Bill Reid Page 993 Dorchester Ave. Network Consultant, Retired 935-1432 Winnipeg, MB R3M 0P9 University of Manitoba (204) 452-6590

MUUG Meeting, Feb 11, 7:30PM -- Wireless Network Setup and Security

[Posted to man.unix.general and other new groups] ------ Forwarded Article <b1oue1$im7$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Wireless Network Setup and Security Wireless networks are becoming a popular alternative for home users and small businesses. A small LAN can be installed more quickly (and sometimes more cheaply) with standards-compliant wireless equipment than with traditional ethernet wiring. Unfortunately, many users value the flexibility of wirless networks without recognizing the security risks involved. Adam Thompson will discuss and demonstrate connecting a RedHat 8.0 system to an existing ethernet infrastructure and, time permitting, configuring WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.
