Topic: Writing Daemons

Daemons are typically system processes, but are also useful for many
other tasks. Daemons can also be normal, unprivileged user programs that
can perform tasks for you when you're not logged in. We'll cover the
basics of writing a daemon in C, and explore how daemons differ from
normal processes. We'll make a basic network daemon, show some of the
common pitfalls and how to overcome them.

Bio

Darrin Chandler has been writing code professionally for more than 20
years, is a contributing editor for the OpenBSD Journal, heads the
Phoenix BSD User Group, and has been using Linux since 1996 or so.
Despite this, neither Linus Torvalds nor Alan Cox know who Darrin is.

==========

Network Note:

The wireless Internet at Adtron is known to mostly work but is flaky.
We have a donated 8 port switch for wired connections but it can fill up
if many people want to connect. If you have an access point or a switch
to share for the duration of the meeting, it is much appreciated.

Alan
