2:00 PM sudo - Secure and Convenient
sudo is a security tool that comes pre-installed on many *NIX
systems, including Mac OS X, and most distributions of Linux. sudo
allows for fine grained control of privileges as an alternative to
setuid programs & scripts, turning on read & write privileges on
sensitive files, sharing passwords, and (gasp) giving out the root
password. This presentation will begin with a quick demo for those of
you who are unfamiliar with sudo, and follow on with the real world
problems and solutions with implementing sudo.
The speaker will be Mr. Michael Potter of Replatform Technologies, LLC.
3:15 PM Coffee Break
3:30 PM Onstage Overview and Demo
The speaker will be presenting Aduva's OnStage Suite, which is
designed to leverage all IBM eServer platforms. It enables IBM
middleware on Linux, automatically provisions and manages Linux
servers and applications allowing customers to deploy (or re-deploy)
servers and/or workloads on demand. For example, a customer may
allocate a group of servers to focus on Web serving during the busy
workday and then automatically redeploy those servers to batch
processing applications at night. In addition, Aduva is designed to
leverage its dependency KnowledgeBase to improve system security,
availability and compliance.
The speaker will be Ms. Celia Cattani of Aduva.
