If anyone is interested, there's an opening in the CS Department for a System Administrator. They're officially calling it a "Systems & Network Architect/Manager," whatever that means. It's Newsome / Frank Sorenson's old job (now that he's in Illinois), so if you've talked to him, you know what it is.
In the CS Department, there are two full-time sys admin positions, and this is one of them. The other one is Klark Walker, who's great to work with. They supervise half a dozen part-time students. The department has about a dozen Linux servers, and several hundred each of Linux and Windows lab machines. The servers run a variety of services, such as LDAP, Kerberos, NFS, Samba, Apache, BIND, NTPD, MySQL, etc. In my own personal opinion, the most important qualifications are experience with Linux system administration, ability to learn quickly and try out new things, troubleshooting skills, and fun personality. I'm sure the department will list some other requirements, too, but don't be scared to apply (and please don't let the official job description scare you off). From what I hear, the BYU HR people aren't going to screen any applications before they get to the CS Department committee. From www.cs.byu.edu, "To apply, point your browser to yjobs.byu.edu. Applications are being accepted through March 22, 2006. Note the position # is 060065 and is titled: Systems & Network Architect/Manager." -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
