presentation on the system and answer questions from the group. It will be
geared towards IT professionals. |
| Charter - Present final draft for approval. |

| New Chair for UNUG |
Highlights:
| Lee Rogers resigned as UNUG chair. Matthew Musgrave was nominated as
the new chair and the attending membership gave their approval. |
| UNUG meeting time is changing. By majority-rule vote, the UNUG will now
meet on 4th Tuesday of every month at 2:00 pm. Meetings will still be held
in the Computing Commons Auditorium, CC-120, with the exception of our March
meeting |
| The attending membership also voted on the charter and it will be sent to
UNCEL for their approval. |
| Network Catalyst and Nokia, gave a demonstration of one of their firewall
appliances. The firewall units are based on BSD, and managed with a VPN
interface from a Windows NT system. Their appliance runs the Check Point
Firewall Software, which also runs on Solaris, Linux and Windows Platforms. |
Issues to address, action items:
| We still need a co-chair. Please submit nominations and/or volunteer.
Since it is part of our charter, we need to have it taken care of before we
can send our charter to UNCEL. |
| To Matt's knowledge the University does not have a site-license for Check
Point, but if he is wrong, please let him know. |
| Also please let Matt know if those of you who attended found this
informative and would like to see presentation like this in the future.
Network Ice Inc. has expressed an interest in giving a presentation of their
firewall product, (BLACK ICE) and may possibility be looking for BETA
testers for their LINUX version. |
