Hello! I'm new here, so as requested by the list owner, here's my
introduction. I'm the sysop for the admin. computing system at Flathead
Valley Community College (located in the northwest corner of Montana, USA,
FWIW) and the de facto security officer. My background is in Unix and
MS-DOS systems with a smattering of Netware. I'm very interested in finding
ways to improve security, esp. in the areas of preventing successful
attacks, logging unsuccessful attacks, and in the worst cases, logging
details of successful attacks. Right now our systems are not directly
connected to the Internet, but that is likely to change in the near future,
so security is becoming even more important than before. I found out about
this list from a post by Patrick Horgan to the firewalls@GreatCircle.com
mailing list.
