Final Project - Examples










Automation Kick-start install Package management/update Scripting Web front-end of user account management Network Web cache performance enhancement using multiple network interfaces Security How to setup a secure network? Misc Asterisk PBX (http://www.asterisk.org/) Linux PVR (http://www.mythtv.org/)

Final Project - More Examples


System Automation
If any server is down, can you setup an identical server within a few minutes?



Scripting
Web front-end for email filter or SPAM filter setup Improved lockdown script



System Health Monitor System
Uses crontab or an agent to collect statistics of your system, such as uptime, load, # of processes, tx/rx bytes .. Implement a web frond-end to display those info

Final Project - More Examples


Visualization
Instead of displaying number, display graph instead Graph the topology of a given network



Fault Tolerant System
Hot-standby and fail-over if primary system fails Load balance
NX server and preserve login session Something better than round-robin DNS





Backup
Incremental backup system Snapshot-like implementation

Final Project - More Examples


System Security
Parse the log files for potential break-ins, attacks, etc. Tripwire re-implementation Write a tool that determines if any NIC of a group of machines are in promiscuous mode



Authentication Integration between Linux and Windows
LDAP



Print Server
Write a script to filter out non-PS files before spooling the files



File system Implementation
FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/)

Final Project - More Examples


Cluster Management
Torque (resource manager) & Maui (cluster scheduler)

TCP
TCP speed-up, Read http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~savage/papers/CCR99.pdf
