October SLUG Monthly Meeting

G'day all!

== October SLUG Monthly Meeting ==

SLUG's monthly meeting, featuring talks and SLUGlets. Meetings are
open to the general public, and free of charge.

This month's meeting will be at our new venue, the IBM building, Level
13, 601 Pacific Highway, St. Leonards.

So we can adjust to the venue, we ask that people arrive 15 minutes
early so we can all get into the building and start on time.

A committee member will also be standing outside the building to meet,
greet, and provide directions to the venue.

= Talks =

General Talk: Ken Yap - Migrating authentication from
passwd/shadow/smbpasswd to LDAP for small networks

Tired of keeping password files on a handful of Linux machines in
sync? Heard that LDAP is the solution, but the documentation made your
head hurt? This talk will show you how to set up LDAP. As a bonus you
get to use LDAP as an address directory for email, etc.

Technical Talk: Peter Miller - Compilers and Factories

Peter will be presenting a technique that separates the grammar from
the semantic processing, using simple C++ polymorphism. The use of
factory methods is described, as well as some unexpected benefits and
simplifications.

SLUGlets Topic: Directory administration and tools

Following on from Ken's talk, we'll be looking at best practices for
directory administration, and the tools to aid you in your directory
endeavors!
