[techtalk] Hi and Intro

[Julie]

I guess I wasn't sure about the protocol of this list.  Having seen
a number of "Hi!"'s, I suppose I should do an intro ...

My name is Julie Haugh.  Some of my work that you may be
familiar with includes the Shadow Password Suite, which is
distributed with many Linux distros these days as "shadow-utils"
or something like that.  Shadow is now into its teenage years,
which is something I find utterly amazing.  This isn't an AIX list,
so if you're familiar with me from AIX, that's another way.

I've been using Linux since the days when most people downloaded
floppy images and the thought of someone burning CDs and
starting a company like RedHat were the furthest from our brains.

I work for IBM (though I don't speak for them ...) as the tech lead
in the AIX base O/S security development group.  I'm also a vendor 
security analyst and was the tech lead for the C2 evaluation of
AIX.

Unlike most Linux users, I don't use Linux for all of my "home"
biz since there are just too many cards and other goodies in my
machine (an aging Dell Dimension XPS 166 ...) that I'm afraid
won't run on Linux.  When I feel confident that I can watch "3rd
Rock" on the same screen as I read netnews, perhaps I'll get
rid of WinDoze for good.

I'm doing many other fun things with Linux which I cannot
discuss because I don't speak for my employer ...

Grrls Rule!
