[RLUG] Meeting topic for next month

[Sebastian Smith]

I'd really like to learn more about this topic.  We do have a couple of 
topics in the queue though.  Here's the lineup:

- Being Productive With Linux (Beginner)
- Developing on Linux (Beginner)

Perhaps we can fit a security presentation in after the development 
discussion?!  I'd really like to break a security discussion into a long, 
beginner-level discussion, and a short advanced-level discussion if 
possible.  For example, the beginner level discussion could address things 
like controlling daemons and firewalling, and the advanced discussion 
could hit on topics like using LD_PRELOAD to hijack executables.

This could even be a section of each meeting if you want -- we could 
allocate 10-20 minutes for someone to describe a security hole, how it's 
exploited, how to patch it, and where to find more information on it.
