Nottingham LUG - 2000 November

[ Nottingham LUG Home ]

In November 2000, Martin Hamilton from Loughbourgh University--who is best known for his work on the JANET National Web-cache--came to Talk to the Nottingham LUG about security and in doing so formed the first of our yearly winter season sessions.

Security

There was a better attendance at the November meeting, due to Godfrey remembering to post an email reminder, and so a dozen members had an interesting session with Martin from Loughborough University, talking on Unix security.

What started as a straight talk soon turned into a two-way discussion and then an open discussion on trojans, intrusion detection, firewalls and related aspects of security (well, most of the time!).

Those attending found it a very interesting subject, and several who did not have to rush away, continued the discussion in a local hostelry. Martin said the electronic format of his presentation was more interesting still, with links to other places. Judge for yourself when you visit Martin's site.

Please pass on the meeting details to your friends/work colleagues. If you are not on the mailing list and have received this email from a friend, then you can subscribe, by sending a message with just the words subscribe nottingham in the body of the message, to majordomo@lists.lug.org.uk
