Author Bio
Terry Dawson is an amateur radio operator and long time Linux enthusiast. He is the author of a number of network related HOWTO documents for the Linux Documentation Project and is an active participant in a number of other Linux projects. Terry has 15 years professional experience in telecommunications and is currently engaged in network management research in the Telstra Research Laboratories. Terry lives in Sydney with his wife Maggie, and son Jack. Olaf Kirch has a degree in Mathematics but turned his back on category theory and compact continuous lattices after booting his first Linux kernel some time in 92. He vividly recalls the joy of learning Unix by reading Linux kernel code. Since that time, he has participated in various Linux projects, including writing large parts of its NFS implementation, and running the first Linux security mailing list with Jeff Uphoff in 95. He currently works for Caldera Systems, where he is responsible for much of the network related stuff as well as security issues, and sometimes finds himself wondering whether he's dreaming or if all this is real. In his spare time, he enjoys being with Maren and their daughter Jule. And in case you actually read the bio in the first edition of the Network Administrator's Guide, Olaf does have a driving license now.
