Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (Buffalo,NY) is an independent, non-profit research facility that is committed to improving human health through biomedical research. In addition to that, it's a really cool place to work. HWI is a casual, low stress environment. Each of us is very busy with our work, but it is work that we enjoy. Even though our retirement plans are very good, generally, our employees refuse to give up their jobs. HWI is ideal for a person who wants to settle down, enjoy his/her work and use his/her skills to make a difference. Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute has an opening for a Systems Administrator for our MacOS X machines. We are seeking an individual that has experience integrating Apple workstations running MacOS X into a predominantly Microsoft Windows environment. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: HWI has about 100 Windows boxes and a firm windows infrastructure. Macintosh workstations have always had network access, but for the most part, have been stand-alone workstations. Priority number one will be to provide seamless integration between our MacOS clients and our Windows services. Immediate goals are getting users of the Macintosh workstations authenticating through Active Directory and access to SMB shares. Long term responsibilities include software installation and system upgrades, resolve software issues, perform backups and recovery. Depending on your skills, you may be responsible for dealing with desktop support 1-2 days per week. Knowledge, Skills, Education and Abilities: Individual must have a BA/BS in a related field or 3+ years of related industry experience. Experience administering machines running MacOS X required. If you aren't comfortable with the CLI and scripting, you need not apply. Experience using Windows 2000/XP and/or UNIX preferred. Windows system administration experience, especially Active Directory, and/or any flavor of UNIX system administration experience a huge plus. Perl, PHP and/or MySQL experience a plus. Our IT Department is very much a service oriented department. Our users are the ones who pay our salaries. Therefore, the candidate must have a positive attitude, especially when it comes to desktop support. Each of us within the department have more responsibilities than we can handle, so you must be able to work with little supervision or guidance. For consideration, email resume and salary requirements to: rcollins@hwi.buffalo.edu

Can you please describe the FreeBSD-related work? Or point us to to a job announcement webpage related to the FreeBSD work? Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/
New Mac OS flavors are based on fbsd - that is likely the connection. On Fri, 22 Jul 2005, Jeremy C.

Steve is correct. I notice that Apple posted an opening to the list as well, so I figured I would give it a shot. More importantly though, although I am looking for a MacOS sysadmin, we have quite a few FreeBSD servers and I would love to get a sysadmin that could take some of the FreeBSD chores off my shoulders. Hence the Unix familiarity. In short a FreeBSD geek w/ MacOS experience goes to the top of the pile. -rcollins> -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Hovey [mailto:shovey@buffnet.net] > Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 2:03 PM > To: Jeremy C.

Beyond the plain unix stuff is mach-kernel and admin tools not related to (or only remotely related to) FreeBSD. All IMHO! thanks!- -lance
He could be wanting someone focused on syntactic minutiea... or maybe just someone to get it all up and workin quickly with minimum burps and tech calls and grief from the guy assigned the job.. Figuring if you know fbsd you probably also know (fill in the blanks if you have a clue) and should also be familiar with (you read the post) such that maybe you have a shot at gettin the issue together and releaving the pressure currently in place.. and God help anyone streamline stuff to lighten the load!.. Nah ur right - syntactic games were prolly the goal.
