Meeting Topic:

	Directory Services - Novels NDS.
	Ped Ristic - IT Manager for the Faculty 
                     of Medicine and Dentistry at UWA.

Ped Ristic is the IT Manager for the Faculty of Medicine and
Dentistry at UWA.  He recommends then promotes policies and procedures 
to the Faculty, provides leadership in developing awareness of new 
opportunities and allocates and controls human resources.  The Faculty 
is made up of ~500 staff and ~800 students and is located in all the
major teaching hospitals. The organisation and management of a
distributed system such as this provides unique challenges and
experiences.

His talk to SAGE will be on Directory Services.  His experience is
mainly
with NDS but the X.500 principles involved are the same and would be
just
as applicable to Microsoft Active Directory as well as LDAP.  The
example he
will use will be his own system and the issues faced when designing a
DS
for your organisation.

After the meeting:
       Some light food will be available after the meeting.  
       Stay around, have a drink and get to know your fellow
       system administrators

If you are interested in SAGE or just curious then please come along
to the meeting.  If you are a SAGE member then please bring a friend
or associate.

If you wish to have some input into the future of SAGE-WA or wish to
know more about future meetings and are not able to attend this
meeting then please contact me.
