April is Paranoid Penguin Month!!!



Due to popular demand for security related topics we have scheduled April as
"Paranoid Penguin" month. 

The April newbie meeting will focus on basic security issues, networking, and
TCP/IP in preperation for the rest of the month.  

Our own Dirk Bartley will be presenting "NetFilter", the new stateful firewall
and routing core of the 2.4.x kernel series.  Netfilter offers significant
improvements in security and configurability.

We still need two more speakers to be sure we fill our slate.  Suggested
topics are:

	Review of firewall oriented distributions
	Review of firewall config tools, and network testing tools.
	TCP wrappers
	xinetd (the replacement for inetd)

Of course these are not the only topics that fall under the "security" umbrella,
they are just suggestions.  If you would like to present one of the above, or
some other related topic, in the month of April let us know.

Don't forget that if you just want to cover one small topic or package (verses
presenting for 30 minutes) thats OK.  We can try to line up a couple of people
who want to do the same thing.
