The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Managing Systems with Ansible
Ansible is an OSS IT automation engine, in the vein of Chef and Puppet. But what exactly can you do with it? John Gunkel will be filling us in. He'll be covering key concepts, package management, templates, roles, GUI interfaces, and more! A demo will bring it all together.
RTFM: tcpdump(1) with Adam Thompson
Debugging an application's behaviour is sometimes easier to do by looking at the interactions it has with other systems on the network than by examining the application itself. Modern UNIXes all come with a tool, tcpdump(1), that can examine, filter, decode, and log all the traffic seen at a network interface - whether it originates on that system or not. Adam will discuss the most common options for [12]tcpdump(1), and hopefully demonstrate a simple example.
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.
