The U.S. Based System Administrator's Guild (SAGE)
(An STG of The USENIX Association)
has commissioned SysAdmin's Managing Director and Principal Consultant, Geoff Halprin,
to author a booklet on auditing for their "Short Topics in System Administration" series.
Geoff's extensive experience in operational and security auditing led Hal Miller, president of
SAGE, to approach Geoff to author the booklet.
The working title is "A System Administrator's Guide to Auditing", and the booklet is due out in
the second half of 1998.
Geoff is also preparing a full-day tutorial and workshop on auditing for the
SAGE-AU'98 conference in Canberra in July.
