<br>
Sorry for the late notice. Sometimes life gets in the way.<br>
<br>
===================================<br>
The feature presentation will be by Michael Potter presenting on:<br>
<br>
sudo: Beginner to Expert in 1 hour<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
This presentation will begin with a quick demo for those of you who are<br>
unfamiliar with sudo. The complete syntax of the configuration file will be<br>
explained starting with the simplest rules to the most complex. Finishing with a<br>
discussion recipes to solve real world problems.<br>
<br>
Michael started developing this presentation after getting frustrated trying to<br>
understand the sudo configuration file syntax. He added the real world problem<br>
while helping people on the sudo mailing list.<br>
<br>
sudo is a security tool that comes pre-installed on many *NIX systems, including<br>
mac os x, and most distributions of Linux. sudo allows for fine grained control<br>
of privileges as an alternative to setuid programs & scripts, turning on read &<br>
write privileges on sensitive files, sharing passwords, and (gasp) giving out<br>
the root password.<br>
<br>
Bio:<br>
Michael has been working in IT since 1989 when he<br>
switched from programming automotive embedded systems.<br>
<br>
Since that time he has been involved in projects related<br>
to moving mainframe applications to UNIX and Linux using<br>
open-source technologies. Michael is the lead author of the<br>
open source library that allows socket code originally developed on the<br>
mainframe to be recompiled on Linux: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ezasoket/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/ezasoket/</a><br>
<br>
Recently Michael is work on various projects from Groovy/Grails to<br>
development of iPhone/Blackberry/Android applications for business.<br>
<br>
In 2009 Michael and his wife Lanna moved their consulting business<br>
