Puget Sound Technology, a provider of open source technical services, is teaching FreeBSD system administration training, September 27 - 30, 2005, in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The course will cover standard Unix administration skills, such as cron, syslogging, inetd, user and group administration, and basic network configurations. Students will learn the basics of DNS, SMTP, Apache, and Postfix and will setup their own DNS zones and Apache-based virtual websites. The topics will also include FreeBSD installation, using the ports collection for installing third-party software, updating FreeBSD, custom kernel configurations, understanding the rc.d scripts, periodic tasks, and packet filtering. As a member of the BSD Certification Group, the instructor recently assisted with the BSD System Administrator Job Task Analysis survey and report[1]. This analysis will be used to help focus the topics for this class. The class is taught by Jeremy C. Reed, a pkgsrc developer, NetBSD and DragonFly committer, and FreeBSD Marketing Team member.
