Members and Lurkers alike Greetings,<div><br></div><div>WPLUG held a General User Meeting yesterday March 10, 2012. The Board would like to thank all those who attended our meeting:</div><div><br></div><div>John Lewis, Dan Martin, Stanley Slomberg, Justin Smith, Dave Ostroske and Elwin Green.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Kudos goes out to our speaker Vance Kochenderfer for a excellent presentation on the basics of using the Secure Shell (ssh). Vance's talk an introduction for those not initiated to the ways of connecting from one client computer to a server using the most popular package OpenSSH. Examples were provided via slide and the command line terminal. The audience was inquisitive and attentive while Vance took them step by step through the different protocols used in this area from compressing connections to using encryption keys for password-less connections. And a good time was had by all. For those who have read this far I extend an invitation to the June meeting where Vance will present on more advanced uses of ssh. So you experts out there who think you know ssh? Why not come out in June? Been lurking on the list for awhile? A member who has gone astray? Come on out! We'd like to meet you or get reaquainted. I'm positive Vance will have something interesting to present to even the most advanced users. Well that is all for now. Remember this coming Friiday we are holding an InstallFest for our new friends at HackPittsburgh. Check the wiki for details. Hope to see you there!</div>
