FreeBSD Unix class to be taught in Phoenix in September

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Puget  Sound Technology, a provider of open source technical services,
is teaching FreeBSD system administration training, September 27 - 30,
2005,  in  Phoenix,  Arizona, USA. The course will cover standard Unix
administration skills, such as cron, syslogging, inetd, user and group
administration, and basic network configurations.

Students  will  learn the basics of DNS, SMTP, Apache, and Postfix and
will  setup their own DNS zones and Apache-based virtual websites. The
topics  will  also  include  FreeBSD  installation,  using  the  ports
collection  for  installing  third-party  software,  updating FreeBSD,
custom kernel configurations, understanding the rc.d scripts, periodic
tasks, and packet filtering.

As  a  member  of the BSD Certification Group, the instructor recently
assisted  with the BSD  System Administrator Job Task Analysis  survey
and report[1]. This analysis will be used to help focus the topics for
this class. The class is taught by Jeremy C. Reed, a pkgsrc developer,
NetBSD and DragonFly committer, and FreeBSD Marketing Team member.
