flashrd+nsh: OpenBSD imaging and easy configuration for network 
appliances and virtual environments

Installation, upgrade and configuration are important, practical 
functions. OpenBSD's reputation for advanced networking functionality is 
second only to its reputation for having a tight knit development 
community which considers these functions first and foremost a 
convenience for developers.

In this session, we'll discuss the use and application of the flashrd 
and nsh tools for creating networking system images catered to 
deployment  by IT staff, consultants and OEMs. We'll also discuss 
OpenBSD networking features and applications that can be instrumented by 
nsh, and discuss any general OpenBSD features and history, as desired by 
you, the participants.

Chris Cappuccio is a systems and network architect, with 16 years of 
experience starting as a Unix system administrator, followed up with 
extensive IP, DSL, wireless and SS7 network deployment and operation. 
Chris owns and operates Yellowknife, a wireless network provider 
covering thousands of square miles of unserved and underserved areas 
with high performance Internet access. He has been a part-time 
contributor to networking and driver services in the OpenBSD operating 
system for 14 years.
