Dear Colleague:

I'm pleased to invite you to join me in Atlanta for the 18th Large
Installation System Administration Conference (LISA '04): "System
Administration Reality--Automation, Configuration, and Users."

For the past 17 years LISA has been the focal point for the global
community of system and network administrators. This year LISA
continues that tradition, featuring innovative tools and techniques
essential to your professional and technical development.

New for 2004: 6 days of tutorials. Select from over 50 tutorials
taught by expert instructors, including:

*Aeleen Frisch on Administering Linux in Production Environments

*Tom Christiansen and Mark-Jason Dominus on Advanced Perl Programming

*Gerald Carter on LDAP and Managing Samba

* and more . . .

The full training program can be found at

In addition to the training, 3 days of technical sessions include
top-notch refereed papers, informative invited talks and panels, and
expert Guru sessions.

Our Invited Talks Track offers our most impressive slate of speakers

LISA is the premier forum for presenting new research in system
administration. We selected papers from over 60 submissions,
showcasing state-of-the-art work on topics including Spam/Email,
ntrusion and Vulnerability Detection, Security, System Integrity,
and more.

ways to fight spam. Leading spam experts will present the latest
research findings and counter-spam techniques, including talks by:

* Joshua Goodman on How to Stop the Spam
