The STL!/unix/usr/group meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Sunnen Products, 7910 Manchester Blvd, just east of Hanley on Manchester.
Directions From Downtown
The SLUUG Steering Committee meets the Tuesday following the general 2nd Wednesday meeting at 6:00 PM in the 2nd floor training room of Daugherty Systems, One City Place in Creve Coeur.
The SLUUG Linux SIG (SLUUGLS) meets the 3rd Thursday of every month at the Indian Trails Public Library.
The SLUUG CTI SIG (SLUUG CiTI) meets the 1st Wednesday of every month at the Bridgeton Trails Public Library.
As our membership grows, we have had some inquiries about the possibility of having Special Interest Groups in several areas. If you are interested in starting or participating in a SIG for System Administration, Networking, C, Object Oriented Programming, a specific vendor, etc., please call Dave Mills at 230-5151, extension 103, or contact any officer of the group.
Connecting to the Internet with Linux by Jerry Adlersfluegel
Jerry Adlersfluegel, an Aerospace Engineering graduate of Parks College, will describe connecting to the Internet with Linux. Jerry has been using un*x since 1988 and has been acting as root since 1996. Jerry started using Linux in 1996 and has been webmaster for several companies since his first su. Jerry is currently writing web pages in an NT shop and satisfies his fix for Linux at home. Jerry's Linux configuration consists of a cheap, but nice, pc as his primary Linux box and a PowerMac dual-booting MkLinux.
Jerry will provide a real example of implementing a dial-on-demand internet connection. How to use the tools already installed with a 2.x system to cut down on telephone usage and never go superuser again just to check email. Don't tie up the phone for 39 days (for real!) just because you are too lazy to set it up right.
Additionally, find out how to use a single dialup account and modem to provide access for several computers at once. With IP Masquerading, an ISP will have no idea that there is more than one computer, and the other computers will have no idea they aren't really on the Internet (with some minor restrictions, of course, but even ping works!). It will work in any setting where only one IP address is available, but there are more computers than that.
