OK, so Toby says any day but Wednesday, and it looks like I might have a
Friday class thrown in there somewhere as well.  Saturday mornings are
occupied with class for me.

Saturday afternoon, say 4ish?  Someone pick a day that is not this coming
Saturday.  I will default to the last Saturday of the month if nobody
volunteers a date.

Discussion topics:

I'll do a quick 5 or 15 minutes on a Linux e-mail gateway running Amavis
scanning e-mail, Postfix and (take a quick peek at the headers!) IMAP
and/or POP3 clients so you can still use Windows in an office.  Q & A
following if anyone has questions about how to set it up or if I
inevitably leave something out.  I will not discuss things like compiling
all of this stuff from source and all of the various different
configuration options available for Amavis, Postfix or IMAP/POP3 because I
am basically ignorant of them.  I just know my own setup, but we have to
start somewhere.  rpm for SuSE/RedHat, apt for Debian, pkg_add for OpenBSD
is good enough to get a gateway going.

If someone would volunteer to do a short presentation on iptables/ipchains
that would be great, since the two subjects kind of go hand in hand.  If
not, I'll come up with a very basic generic iptables firewall script
suitable for a small office.

I can bring our boxen if people care to set them up for installfest work -
we need ftp and http servers on two of them, and the HP dual processor box
is about ready to go.  I think I can score two P120s or P133's to run in
it.  Since that box is SCSI it can serve as an ftp server.  I'm thinking
the third box (P90?) should run DHCP and possibly a http server for the
jargon file so people can have fun reading it.  If anyone has 1GB - 8GB
IDE disks laying around pretending to be paperweights, please bring them
in.  If you've never installed this kind of stuff, please come in.  I'm
thinking OpenBSD and/or Debian with no X for these boxes, so you'll be
working with the config files instead of the RedHat/SuSE wizards.

Remember there's a door prize for anyone attending their first meeting -
the RedHat 7.2 setup book I picked up at Hearthside, complete with 2 CDs.

Cheers,

James Zuelow
