Manlug Meeting

[Richard <nospam [at] zetnet.co.uk>]

Hello

The Manlug meeting yesterday was well worth a trip. Peter Crowther
gave a presentation about Network Security and Firewalling with
Linux.

Some examples of what can go wrong with corporate and academic
networks were shown and he carefully explained how to get out of
these (almost) life threatening situations. The second half was all
about firewalls and the problems of administration and making sure
that everything was as secure as it could be. More than a few of us
found it hard to understand why Microsoft could be taken seriously by
any security people anywhere.

We finished up with dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. Really
good :-)

If you want a few introductory comments about the security aspects
of Linux or Unix you can have a look at my own site at....
http://home.freeuk.net/linux.help. Click on FAQs and Howtos and when
you get to that page look for the links to the relevant info.

Thanks
