SOSP'99 - Call For Participation
17th ACM Symposium on
Operating Systems Principles (SOSP'99)
December 12-15, 1999
Kiawah Island Resort, near Charleston SC, USA
http://www.diku.dk/sosp99
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/SOSP99
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION:
The biannual ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles is the
world's premier forum for bringing together researchers, developers,
programmers, vendors and educators of operating system technology.
Academic and industrial participants present research and experience
papers that cover the full range of theory and practice.
SOSP 17 continues the tradition of previous conferences, focusing on
the design, implementation, analysis, and deployment of operating
systems. It includes a broad set of high quality, relevant,
interesting papers, covering a wide range of topics, platforms, and
environments. We chose research that advances the state of the art
into new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or
reflects on practical applications of the community's knowledge.
Many contributions emphasise the OS community's contribution to the
closely related fields of computer architecture, data communications,
programming systems and languages, and applications. The Symposium
attracts attendees with diverse backgrounds, and we explicitly
present papers not only in the ``traditional core'' of the OS field,
but also in the interface to these areas and others.
There will be a poster session and a work-in-progress session; in
each case presenters will be chosen from brief proposals submitted to
the program committee. Details are available on the web site.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION:
The Symposium will be held at the beautiful Kiawah Island Resort, an
exquisite beach-front getaway. Participants will stay in a cluster of
villas near the conference center, a short walk from the beach. Kiawah's
miles-long ocean beach is one of the finest in the world. Its golf
courses are world-class. The island is laced with miles of paved bike
paths, and bike rentals are available. The historic city of Charleston
is approximately 30 minutes away by car. Bring your family!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION:
Registration information etc. are available at the conference web
site. Early registration deadline November 8.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFERENCE PROGRAM AT A GLANCE (6:00pm Sunday - 12:00 Noon Wednesday):
Sunday, 12 December:
- General reception
Monday, 13 December:
- Client systems
- Real time
- File Systems
- Poster Session
- Panel honoring Marc Weiser
Tuesday, 14 December:
- OS Kernels
- Work in progress
- Invited speakers / panel
- Distributed systems
- SIGOPS business meeting
Wednesday, 15 December:
- Distributed systems
- Networking
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Work in progress session:
A traditional informal SOSP-style WIP session will be held on
the Tuesday, with roughly 5-minute slots. Speakers will be
selected from submissions that are:
* no more than 2 pages long
* handed to a member of the program committee by 1pm on
Monday of the conference
The WIP selection process will aim for informality, and
emphasize focussed, thought-provoking or late-breaking
results, rather than a blow-by-blow description of a body of
work. For the opportunity to provide more in-depth coverage
of the latter, consider submitting a poster.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poster session:
A poster session will be held on the Monday evening. The
current plans are for there to be a rapid, low-overhead
reviewing process for poster submissions. More details will
be forthcoming by November 1. Expect there to be slightly
more formality than for the work-in-progress sessions, but not
much. We will probably be asking for a sketch of at most 2
posters (reduced to fit on 8.5" x 11" paper) plus up to 2
pages of "speaker notes" to accompany them.

Reply-To: Stelian Pop <pop@cybercable.fr>
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi, it's me again :)
A new version of the dump/restore backup suite is now available.
It is available on http://perso.cybercable.fr/pop
Happy restoring!
Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7
=========================================
1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
was not compiled in.
2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
(Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller
<eirik@netcom.com>).
5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
dump).
8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
/etc/dumpdates.
10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
included the current date/version in man pages.
11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
the results canceled each other...

Farmington, MI --- As more and more users discover the Linux operating
system as a viable alternative to some of today’s high-priced operating
systems, a new web site (http://www.LinuxFool.com) has been recently
launched to offer Linux users an unbiased forum for discussions and
information sharing. LinuxFool.com is an official mirror of the Linux
Documentation Project.
Linux has created waves among software developers, network administrators,
and others whose business it is to develop and support end-user
applications, because of the fact that its source code remains freely
available. As a result, the Linux operating system is deployed by more and
more commercial users in the United States as a reliable, cost-efficient,
high-performance alternative to Unix.
Vladislav S. Davidzon, LinuxFool.com webmaster, hopes that this site will
attract Linux enthusiasts, irrespective of proficiency level, experience or
expertise. As this goal is accomplished, registered and new users will come
to rely upon each other as “experts,” seeking technical support and
assistance from each other, in an unmoderated setting. With the web site
currently exceeding projected volume expectations, LinuxFool.com averages
between two and three thousand hits per day. The potential for reaching
maximum growth goals is boundless.
Davidzon states, “LinuxFool.com will ultimately grow to become an awesome
resource for Unix users of all sorts. This site is result of an idea whose
time has finally come. There are a lot of existing Linux sites, but it has
become really difficult to find a site which combines ease of use with the
ability to address all questions about Linux. Ultimately, we intend to add
new content to the site and will structure the site around our users’
suggestions, comments and ideas.”

About Davidzon Network Technologies: The mission of Davidzon Network
Technologies, a network consulting and web development firm based in
suburban Detroit, is grounded in a customer-focused approach to delivering
high-quality products and services to a prestigious list of clients in

After minimal soul searching and some abuse on irc (that I deserved I
guess =), I've changed the license on the LASG to OpenContent
(originally I just ripped a commercial license off the web and used
that, I was bad). OpenContent is similar to GPL except it's aimed at
documentation instead of software. The OpenContent license is
available at: http://www.opencontent.com/. The LASG is available at:
http://securityportal.com/lasg/.
I'm also looking for some contributors since my time is filling up
(gratuitous plug for Bastille Linux: http://www.bastille-linux.org/,
we could use some help) and there is a lot of writing to be done.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The initial meeting of the Midland Area Linux Users' Group,
will be held on October 19th at 7:00pm in Conference Room A
at the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library in Midland, MI.
Currently we have no mailing list or Web presence. I'll be
maintaining a distribution list until we can get something setup.
Directions: The library is at 1710 W. St. Andrews. Really it's
just off of Eastman Ave., right by the Center for the Arts and
the Dow Gardens. Go in the main entrance and down the
stairs on your right. Straight down the hall and make a right
just before you reach the children's section. If you need more
information, just drop me an e-mail.
Here's what we've got for an agenda so far:
1. Introductions
2. Group setup
-Is the name okay?
- Day / time okay?
- What do we want out of the group?
- mission statement and/or goals (if any)
- Web presence / e-mail list
- "Officers" (a.k.a. I can't do it all)
3. Technical Q/A
I was planning on some sort of presentation, and I might still be
able to do one, but it looks like that will have to wait until next
time.
If you plan to attend, please let me know. The conference room is
somewhat limited in seating, and I'll need to make some kind of
arrangement if we exceed it's capacity.
Invite your friends. Invite your relatives. Bring your significant
other. We look forward to seeing you there!

ftpd-BSD-0.2.2.tar.gz (third release of ftpd-BSD)
This is a Linux port of the ftp server (ftpd) found in OpenBSD 2.5
(the version number of the OpenBSD version is 6.4 and the version
number of this port is 0.2.2 - third public release of it).
This server is not as featureful as wu-ftpd but it has the advantage
of being smaller and (presumably) safer. As there have been some
possible security issues with both wu-ftpd and proftpd, this is one
possible alternative.
The port (i.e. my work) consisted of providing an ugly replacement for
some BSD-specific functions, and adapting the authentication mechanism
to use Linux PAM.
New in version 0.2.0 of the port is on-the-fly uncompression of
gzipped files. Version 0.2.1 sync'ed with OpenBSD 2.5, and version
0.2.2 corrects a small bug (not a security hole, unless you have some
particularly sensitive scripts reading the logs) that caused control
characters (ranging from \001 to \007) to be output, and some
filenames to be truncated, in the logs. Also, the README file now
mentions that a PAM entry should be created, and a sample PAM
configuration file is included.
The tarball should be available on sunsite sometime soon (in the
systems/daemons directory). You can also find it at the following
places:
ftp://quatramaran.ens.fr/pub/madore/ftpd-BSD/ftpd-BSD-0.2.2.tar.gz
http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/ftpd-BSD-0.2.2.tar.gz
I have retained the original BSD copyright. To make things clear, all
praise should go to the OpenBSD people, and all blame (for example if
I broke something while porting the stuff) to myself.
