The Sun User Group is pleased to announce the first of its series of
new UNIX tutorials.  The Sun User Group (SUG) has a long tradition of
providing informative and timely tutorial sessions as part of our
technical conferences.  Now, that same expertise has gone into
developing a program of intensive one-day seminars to be taught around
the country -- and possibly around the world.

Our goal was to develop a group of intensive and informative courses
that will meet the needs of the Sun/SPARC community.  We realize, of
course, that every user has their individual requirements and their
own set of questions they would like answered.  That's why we've come
up with an entire range of courses to meet the needs of everyone, from
wizards to novices.

The SUG Tutorial Program is designed to bring experienced training
professionals to you.  The tutorials will cover a variety of topics
relating to Sun/SPARC and x86-based machines, running any of a number
of operating systems.  Future courses are planned on:

*UNIX Security*Migrating to Solaris
*Perl*Mixed-OS Administration
*Multithreading*UNIX Basics
*The Internet*UNIX Device drivers

The first tutorials are scheduled for March 29 and 30, 1994, and will
both be held at the Sun User Group offices in Brookline, MA.
Information on these seminars is listed below.  Please note, that
despite the complementary nature of the course offerings, a separate
registration fee is required for each one.

Introduction to Solaris System Administration
Tuesday, Mar 29, 1994 9am-5pm
Instructor: Dinah McNutt

Target Audience: The course is targeted at UNIX users who want to
learn the basics of Solaris Systems administration. The emphasis of
the course is on learning how to get started, problem solving, and
task automation.  The focus is on Solaris systems, but many of the
concepts taught apply to other types of UNIX systems. Novice or
intermediate system administrators who want to learn more about
Solaris will also benefit from this class as differences between
Solaris 2.2 and the SunOS 4.1.3 will be noted in the course notes.

Outline:

*   Role of the system administrator
*   Adding New Users
*   Managing Processes
*   Filesystems
*   Backups
*   Printing
*   Introduction to Networking
*   Shutting the system down

Advanced Solaris System Administration
Wednesday, Mar 30, 1994 9am-5pm
Instructors: Peter Galvin and Dinah McNutt

Target Audience: This tutorial is designed to meet the needs of the
system administrator who has experience at managing systems, but has
not had extensive experience with Sun's new Solaris 2.X operating
system.  Areas of focus include differences between Solaris 2.X and
older operating systems, and migrating from those older operating
systems to Solaris.

Topics discussed include:

* Installation and Configuration of Solaris 2.X - including the new
naming schemes for directories and devices, the new startup file
organization and function, and the new printing and serial-I/O
configuration files. 

* Managing Solaris 2.3 - covering the new aspects of 2.3, including
the new caching file system and AutoFS, the automounter file system.

* NIS+ - differences between NIS and NIS+ will be discussed as well as
how to use NIS+.

* Kernel Configuration - how to configure new devices and changes from
Solaris 2.1 and SunOS 4.1.x

* SCSI - everything the system administrator needs to know about how
SCSI works, how to install new devices, and trouble shoot problems.

* Networking - TCP/IP from the hardware side including how routers and
bridges work and useful tools for you to have in your toolbox.

* Tools - some of the tools we have found useful for automating system
administration tasks and troubleshooting problems: watcher, multi-rsh,
and sysinfo to name a few!
