This month's meeting:

  This month we will cover installing ssh 2.0.10 on Unix systems, with
  a demo by Mowgli.  We'll cover how to build it from the distribution
  sources, and we'll discuss the configuration options and how to use
  them effectively.  For those who don't know - ssh is the "secure
  shell" program, which provides a more secure replacement for telnet,
  rlogin, rsh and (for some applications) ftp.  ssh adds encrypted
  links and better authentication than what you get with those network
  applications, plus additional features such as protocol tunneling.  

  We'll try to recover some of the tunneling issues if we have time
  (and if there's interest), but we covered some of that a month or
  two ago already.

  If there's enough time, we will also start reviewing firewall
  architectures and related issues, with a focus on packet filtering.
  We've been working with several groups on campus who are setting up
  various forms of firewalls, and several of them have expressed
  interest in some general review of that topic area.  We'll continue
  that discussion in November's meeting.


  The meeting will be on Wednesday, Oct 28, from 4-6 PM in Baker
  Systems 120.

About these meetings:

  The Network Security Group meetings are usually held on the fourth
  Wednesday of each month from 4-6 PM on the Ohio State University
  main campus in Columbus (usually in Baker Systems 120).  The goal of
  our meetings is to share information about computer security tools,
  practices and problems.  Anyone and everyone are invited to attend.

  We also have mailing lists for people who are interested in
  discussing network security issues, or who just want announcements
  about meetings and security bulletins.  Send mail to
  romig@net.ohio-state.edu for more information.

  Note that this is *not* the same as the bi-weekly security lunch at
  Battelle (the AEGIS group), though you are welcome to attend
  either.  For me information about AEGIS, please contact me.
