This Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006, we're glad to have a couple nice
presentations for folks.

First off, we'll be having a short presentation on the Sun Studio
tools. Find out what new features have been added recentely, what new
features are being worked on, and how you can use Sun Studio to create
programs that run on Linux as well as Solaris. This enables our
community to develop applications that will compile for either Solaris
x64, Solaris SPARC, and Linux. Luan Yin, one of the leads from the
tools group will be at SVOSUG to share this information with you.

The main presentation will feature Glenn Faden giving you the nuts and
bolts on Trusted Solaris. How many folks know that Sun has putback
trusted extentions to OpenSolaris? Did you know those changes are
coming to S10 via the update channel (Glenn should have more info on
that). To some this might not seem very important, but consider that
knowing the source our data is coming from, who sent it, and where that
data has been routed might be more valuable to you than you might
suspect as we move forward in the future. This is truely technology
that makes you wonder how security will be on our computers in the
future. Knowing that people can access your computer from
anywhere in the world once connected can certainly fuel the thought
process on keeping unwanted traffic off of them.

OpenSolaris has had role based access included with it for quite some
time, and this lends to helping create a trusted environment. Glenn
will be able to explain to you how labels and other security features
can be used in a full trusted environment.

Hear it straight from the folks that work in Sun's security department
within Solaris engineering, and learn how these ideas will play a big
role in the future of computing.
