About 6-8 slides

8-10 mins in-class presentation

Final Project - Examples

Automation Kick-start install Package management/update Scripting Web front-end of user account management Network Web cache performance enhancement using multiple network interfaces Security How to setup a secure network? Misc Asterisk PBX (http://www.asterisk.org/) Linux PVR (http://www.mythtv.org/)

Final Project - More Examples

System Automation

If any server is down, can you setup an identical server within a few minutes?
Web front-end for email filter or SPAM filter setup Improved lockdown script Uses crontab or an agent to collect statistics of your system, such as uptime, load, # of processes, tx/rx bytes .. Implement a web frond-end to display those info

Scripting

System Health Monitor System

Final Project - More Examples

Visualization

Instead of displaying number, display graph instead Graph the topology of a given network

Fault Tolerant System

Hot-standby and fail-over if primary system fails Load balance

NX server and preserve login session Something better than round-robin DNS Incremental backup system Snapshot-like implementation

Backup

Final Project - More Examples

System Security

Parse the log files for potential break-ins, attacks, etc. Tripwire re-implementation Write a tool that determines if any NIC of a group of machines are in promiscuous mode
LDAP Write a script to filter out non-PS files before spooling the files

Authentication Integration between Linux and Windows

Print Server

File system Implementation

FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/)

Final Project - More Examples

Cluster Management

Torque (resource manager) & Maui (cluster scheduler)

A Minimal Project

Find a software related to system admin. Install and play with it Identify a couple of its weaknesses Improve the weaknesses by:

Hack the code Add new scripts
