USENIX director Rob Kolstad is chairman for the Large Installation
System Administrator's Workshop to be held in Philadelphia, Pa. on
Thursday and Friday, April 9th and 10th, 1987.  The workshop will bring
together system administrators trying to conquer UNIX's historical bias
towards smaller systems.  It is believed these administrators conquer
many of the same problems repeatedly and can share their unique
solutions to some problems in order to avoid duplication of effort as
UNIX grows to run in ever larger installations.  System managers of
shops with over 100 users (on one or several processors) will find this
workshop particularly valuable.  It is intended that each administrator
will briefly present unique attributes of his/her environment and
contribute a short (five minute) discussion (and paper) detailing some
solution from their shop.

Some topics to be considered include:  large file systems (dumps,
networked file systems), password file administration (including YP),
large mail system administration, USENET/News/Notes administration,
mixed vendor (and version) environments, load control and batch
systems, handy new utilities, and large LANs.
