Job opportunity on my team.
by Sean Cody 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hey there, we're looking to find more folks for our team. Specifically security focused 'infrastructure specialists' to build and deploy security services at 'enterprise' scale. We are growing the practice as well as tackling some very unique challenges so this is a great time to try something different or suffer my presence on a more frequent basis. This kind of thing doesn't come up often and we'd very much like to get the word out there for local folks (security talent isn't just limited to Toronto and Vancouver). As a technical lead in this role, I'd be happy to field any questions and if you'd like to hear more about the role please get in touch. https://gwlcareers-greatwestlife.icims.com/jobs/16036/senior-security-engin… https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6467883747298598912 Please forward this along to anyone you think would be interested, despite my graylisting (consider it a test) I definitely would like to hear from you! -- Sean P.S.

MUUG Meeting, Nov 13, 7:30pm -- Captive Portal, RTFM: date
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Build an IP Captive Portal from Scratch (For Fun and Education, but Not for Profit) Love 'em or hate 'em, captive portals are widely used to restrict Internet access to authorized users. What if you need to set one up, but all the "canned" solutions aren't quite right for your use case? This presentation by Gilbert Detillieux will show you the various components that make up a captive portal, and how you can set one up from scratch, using Linux Netfilter/iptables, the Apache web server, ISC DHCPD and BIND, and some custom back-end scripting. RTFM: date The lowly date(1) command has been a fixture of UNIX systems from the very early days. Yet there may be features in this command that would surprise you. Adam Thompson will present this RTFM. The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm 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 for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets. Look for signage once you're at the building, or ask a security guard. ******************************************************************* For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their web server: https://muug.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: https://muug.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.
