/sans/: First ETH sysadmin meeting: 2010-05-28, 1600

Dear sysadmins (*), We're very happy to announce the first sysadmin meeting in ETH organised by /sans/. ## Background Steven and I, both sysadmins at the D-INFK, met by accident some time ago. Since then we discovered a lot of information, ideas, projects and help that made our life as sysadmins much easier. That was the start of the SysAdmiNS (/sans/) project. ## Motivation As we see that many sysadmins (or groups of sysadmins) here are missing a lot of information and some work is repeated a lot of times in ETH, we think it is a good idea to establish a sysadmin meeting. ## Meeting 2010-05-28 We would like to invite you to the first sysadmin meeting in the CAB building (meeting point: cab/e/79) at 1600 on the **last Friday** of May 2010. If you and us have a lot of fun, we plan to organise it regulary every last Friday in the month. ### Topics * A short introduction to /sans/ and our aims * How to configure DNS without using NetIP * Free time for meeting with other sysadmins ## More information (*) If you are not a sysadmin, please forward to your sysadmins. You can find more information about /sans/ at https://sans.ethz.ch/.

Good morning systems group, sysadmins and ID (Mark), as you may have noticed, there's a lot more spam coming in currently. ID has been notified by me yesterday and got several examples of spam. So they are already aware of this problem and probably doing their best to fix it (Right, Mark? ;-) This also means, there's currently no need to send out more examples of spam to me... (Again: Mark, if you need more, there's a lot of spam coming in forwarded to me by other people). Cheers, Nico -- Systems Group Sysadmin Tel: +41 (0) 44 632 76 09 D-INFK/ETH Zurich
