NZNOG 2009 Network Management Miniconf
by Ewen McNeill 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

If you've registered for NZNOG 2009 (http://2009.nznog.org/register) you will have seen that we are holding another network administrators miniconf on the Wednesday tutorial day. We'd like to try a different format this year and have a few BoF-style sessions on various ISP systems/network management topics, each with a brief introductory talk followed by an extended discussion period (10-30 minutes depending on interest in the topic). We would like suggestions for topics of interest to anyone planning on coming to the miniconf. We would also welcome any offers to speak for a few minutes (5-15 minutes) on a topic as a lead into discussion. This is your opportunity to find out what your peers at other ISPs have found does or does not work. Some topics that have been mentioned in informal discussion, or happened in previous years: - system configuration automation (puppet, bcfg, cfengine, etc) - system/network monitoring (nagios, etc, especially scalability) - mail systems/spam filtering/webmail But there are plenty of other possible topics so let us know what is relevant to you at present. Please send topic suggestions and offers to talk to: <talks09(a)nznog.miniconf.org> Simon Lyall and Ewen McNeill Network Administrators Miniconf

Do you grok DNSSEC?
by Sam Sargeant 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hi all. There are two conferences coming up early next year that have a track on DNSSEC. Both NZNOG and APRICOT are looking to find people who have experience and would be happy to share their thoughts. My feeling is that actual use in .nz is small however I'd love to hear from you if there's something you've done with DNSSEC. Ideally we'd like people who are willing to talk in Manilla or Auckland but even just a few shared thoughts are appreciated. http://2009.nznog.org/ http://apricot2009.net/ BTW, registrations are open for both. Register now! :) Sam.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

IPv6 Steering Group Technical SIG - Announcement/Invitation
by Dean Pemberton 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

A workshop at held at InternetNZ on the 28 November in Wellington saw the formation of a New Zealand IPv6 Steering Group. This group includes representatives from telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, ICT vendors, and industry and user associations. The members of this steering group consist of invited senior representatives from the following organisations: InternetNZ TUANZ ISPANZ Telecommunications Carriers Forum Digital Development Forum Telecom TelstraClear WorldXChange Orcon FX Networks REANNZ Canterbury Development Corporation Kordia Cisco Vodafone Juniper Networks Alcatel Lucent Braintrust This steering group will primarily be concerned with high level discussion regarding the deployment of IPv6 within New Zealand. The steering group will not necessarily be a place where technical discussion takes place. As with so many things these days, a combination of business and technical expertise must be bought together to solve a given problem. To this end at the same workshop a Technical Special Interest Group (TechSIG) was also established. The goals of this group are: . To act as a central point for IPv6 technical discussion within the New Zealand Internet community. . To identify to the IPv6 Steering Group any business related barriers to IPv6 deployment which have been identified by the SIG's technical contributors. . To comment and provide potential solutions to technical related barriers identified by members of the IPv6 Steering Group. . To stimulate the production of relevant technical documentation. The co-conveners of this group are Andy Linton Nathan Ward Brian Carpenter Dean Pemberton A mailing list has been created and membership is open to all interested parties. Subscription details can be found at the link below; http://listserver.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-techsig I would encourage anyone who has an interest in the deployment and growth of IPv6 to join and contribute to the list. Please do not feel that this is a 'Networking Specialist Only' list. The deployment of IPv6 (and depletion of IPv4) has just as significant an impact on system administrators and content/application providers as it does on network administrators. I welcome all technical viewpoints onto the list. Thank you for your time. Dean Pemberton (Co-convener, IPv6 Steering Group Technical SIG)

Microsoft releasing emergency patch for perilous IE flaw
by Dean Pemberton 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Interesting reading. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081216/ts_alt_afp/uschinaitinternetsoftwarecr… Microsoft will release an emergency patch on Wednesday to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers. The US software giant said on Tuesday that in response to "the threat to customers" it immediately mobilized security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure "in the unprecedented time of eight days." According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro, attacks based on the vulnerability in the world's most popular Web browser are spreading "like wildfire" with millions of computers already compromised.
