introductions

[Von Essen, John]

Its interesting to see what other people do...

I am a sysadmin for a software company called Global Logistics (G-Log for short). We make enterprise supply chain logistics software. The software is a hosted application (apache-tomcat-weblogic-oracle). We primarily use RHAS 2.1 and 3.0.  Have about 40 or so servers in two separate datacenters. Spend most of my time keeping everything updated and secured, monitoring logs, looking at IDS alerts. Do alot of load balancing and network stuff too.

I have been doing sysadmin work "professionally" for about 5 years, but have been "tooling" around in this stuff for around 10. I also do alot of work on Solaris and FreeBSD.

Hi Folks,

This list has been in existence for a little over a year now, and there really hasn't been
much discussion. I assume that most everyone is more or less a professional sysadmin of some
kind and knows what they are doing, which is great, because that is the sort of croud that I 
wanted to attract.

I'd like to try and spur discussion a little. It would be cool if everyone could do a short intro
and a talk a little about what you do and perhaps mention something you'd like to start a discussion
on.

I'll go first: 

I am a sysadmin for Red Hat. I've been at Red Hat for a little over 6 years now. I started part time
in the end user support group when all we did was boxed set installation support. These days, I work 
primarily on internal projects to support the company and I do a fair ammount of day to day stuff.

My hobbies are twiddling with device drivers and finding new and creative ways to break linux.

Regards,

Matthew Galgoci
