I'm looking for Linux sysadmins and network specialists. I own a company in downtown Raleigh that is migrating companies to Linux and maintaining Linux servers.

What I'm really looking for is people that know how to configure Samba networks, VMWare or similar, user- and group- level security, and is generally people friendly. If you know a thing or two about flash website, that's a plus too.

Not ALL traits are required.

I'm not looking for Linux Nazi's, per se, but I would prefer people that are looking to convert as many people as possible to open source.

If you're interested, contact me at
jkling AT lbatechnologies.com

or call me @ 919 795 7614

Thanks

James

Just a word of advice... Samba is not an option for large networks. You will get much better performance using NFS or AFS software for Windows clients.

Thjese are small scale, generally less than 10 users.

NFS/AFS experience is good too!

Network is not my strong suit, and that's the kind of expertise I'd like working with me!

Absolutely not! I'm just saying the groups I'm working with are generally small. My biggest client has less than 50 PCs and 3 servers. I would LOVE to move to larger clientel, hence the reason I'm looking for outside help.

You misunderstand:

1. Samba is a SMB (Windows networking) interface for Linux. When he says Samba networks, he means that the servers are running Linux and the client computers are running Windows.

2. Samba does not perform well and consumes a fair amount of CPU time. SMB is proprietary to Microsoft, so Linux clients are really just hacks.

3. NFS and AFS are Linux based file sharing protocols that have Windows clients. These perform well because the specifications are well-known. NFS is natively supported by Linux. Windows clients are based on the specs, so they work just as well as their Linux counterparts. AFS is what they use at NCSU.



^ as for the client with 50 client PCs and 3 servers. I would strongly advise you NOT to use Samba. 20 people trying to access files on the same server at once will likely cause a catastrophe.
