| Amanda
Kris Boulez - Plant Genetic Systems AMANDA (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA users native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows 95/NT hosts. This talk will discuss the set-up and configuration of Amanda from within a running environment |

| Have you already
been LDAPed ?
Robert Sprockeels - Bits Over Atoms - OTA Webmaster LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open-standard protocol for accessing information services. It runs over TCP and can be used to access stand-alone directory servers or X.500 directories. OpenLDAP is the leading implementation of this protocol in the open software world. This talk gives you pointers to prepare your own LDAP server under Linux (or actually any UNIX flavour). |

| Broadcasts on Linux, a case study
Leander Berwers - Glasshouse The public broadcasting station VRT and the commercial stations Kanaal 2, Topradio and VTM are using Linux! Before Glasshouse introduced Linux in the broadcasting stations, the servers for web, audio and video, teletext and chat were initially running on Windows NT. Now other European broadcasting stations will follow this example. Leander Berwers, sponsor of various Linux projects, will talk about the ins and outs of Linux for broadcasting stations. |

| LVM - a Logical
Volume Manager on Linux
Heinz Mauelshagen - Deutsche Telekom AG The LVM enables you to group physical disks into so called volume groups (VGs) which can be imagined as virtual disks. The capacity of a VG can be allocated to logical volumes (LVs) which are the abstraction of a partition. The Lvs have regular Linux block device interfaces and therefore can be used like any other block device (e.g. for filesystems). Both Vgs and Lvs are run time resizable. |

| Sendmail
performance tuning for large systems
Brad Knowles - Belgacom Skynet Sendmail is the de-facto standard program for serving Internet mail. According to some estimates, over 70% of all Internet mail is handled by sendmail on one end or the other. It has been ported to virtually every implementation of Unix and Unix-like operating system, as well as some operating systems that are very unlike Unix (including Microsoft Windows NT and IBM OS/2). Given the extreme flexibility available in the macro programming language, sendmail has been used to implement virtually every imaginable feature, and probably many more that no one else has ever heard of. This talk will focus on what an Internet mail systems administrator can do at their site to help ensure that their system can continue to handle the increasing load represented by the growth of the Internet, including scaling individual Internet e-mail systems to handle carrier-class loads on the order of millions of mail messages per day. |

| Introduction
into Linux firewalling
Jan Vanhercke - C-CURE - OTA President One of the more fascinating features of Linux is its ability to operate as a firewall. Knowing the instructions on how to set it up isn't enough. This talk will discuss how Linux can be configured as a firewall, the various options like port redirection, masquerading and filtering, and what needs to be done to set it up. Finally the talk will disclose some tips to make it more secure. |
