Newman) Organization: Sun User Group The Sun User Group is pleased to announce the first of its series of new UNIX tutorials. The Sun User Group (SUG) has a long tradition of providing informative and timely tutorial sessions as part of our technical conferences. Now, that same expertise has gone into developing a program of intensive one-day seminars to be taught around the country -- and possibly around the world. Our goal was to develop a group of intensive and informative courses that will meet the needs of the Sun/SPARC community. We realize, of course, that every user has their individual requirements and their own set of questions they would like answered. That's why we've come up with an entire range of courses to meet the needs of everyone, from wizards to novices. The SUG Tutorial Program is designed to bring experienced training professionals to you. The tutorials will cover a variety of topics relating to Sun/SPARC and x86-based machines, running any of a number of operating systems. Future courses are planned on: * UNIX Security * Migrating to Solaris * Perl * Mixed-OS Administration * Multithreading * UNIX Basics * The Internet * UNIX Device drivers The first tutorials are scheduled for March 29 and 30, 1994, and will both be held at the Sun User Group offices in Brookline, MA. Information on these seminars is listed below. Please note, that despite the complementary nature of the course offerings, a separate registration fee is required for each one. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Introduction to Solaris System Administration Tuesday, Mar 29, 1994 9am-5pm Instructor: Dinah McNutt Target Audience: The course is targeted at UNIX users who want to learn the basics of Solaris Systems administration. The emphasis of the course is on learning how to get started, problem solving, and task automation. The focus is on Solaris systems, but many of the concepts taught apply to other types of UNIX systems. Novice or intermediate system administrators who want to learn more about Solaris will also benefit from this class as differences between Solaris 2.2 and the SunOS 4.1.3 will be noted in the course notes.

Areas of focus include differences between Solaris 2.X and older operating systems, and migrating from those older operating systems to Solaris. Topics discussed include: * Installation and Configuration of Solaris 2.X - including the new naming schemes for directories and devices, the new startup file organization and function, and the new printing and serial-I/O configuration files. * Managing Solaris 2.3 - covering the new aspects of 2.3, including the new caching file system and AutoFS, the automounter file system. * NIS+ - differences between NIS and NIS+ will be discussed as well as how to use NIS+. * Kernel Configuration - how to configure new devices and changes from Solaris 2.1 and SunOS 4.1.x * SCSI - everything the system administrator needs to know about how SCSI works, how to install new devices, and trouble shoot problems. * Networking - TCP/IP from the hardware side including how routers and bridges work and useful tools for you to have in your toolbox. * Tools - some of the tools we have found useful for automating system administration tasks and troubleshooting problems: watcher, multi-rsh, and sysinfo to name a few!
