- Students given jobs for entire course: mail guru, web admin,
security officer, user accounts, Samba admin, Majordomo admin,
tiger team, X guru, kernel maintainer etc.
- Also some management roles: policy makers etc.
- Three main boxes: FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris/NT? Jobs performed on
these boxes.
- As much of the SA3 course moved to these boxes: web pages, mail list etc.
- Must keep course journal of own sysadmin job, it is assessed.
Weekly reports of work to other students & lecturer.
- Jobs force students to interact, e.g security hole needs kernel patch.
- Students still do some group work on their own boxes.
- Would like some real sysadmins to come & give guest lectures, or
even just talk with the students.
- Any other suggestions for 2000?
- Long-term: move to first semester.
