Re: {bb} Training for BB install, optimization, administration

["PAUL WILLIAMSON" <pwilliamson@mandtbank.com>]

You're in the best virtual classroom I've ever been involved with.

Some basics...

There are 2 piece that make up Big Brother - a client and a server.

The client is just that, a client piece of software that collects local
info such as cpu, disk, processes, services and other resource-type
stuff.

The server is broken up into three pieces - display, server and pager.

BBDISPLAY - The piece that displays information about the clients.

BBNET - The piece that performs remote tests such as ping.

BBPAGER - The piece that sends notifications about the errors currently
experienced under the BB domain.

These three servers can be all on one machine, or they can be broken up.

It is best to keep the bb-hosts files in sync until you get familiar
with the operation of Big Brother.  In my situation, the only bb-hosts
that has every device in it is the BBDISPLAY.   The BBNETs have their
own bb-hosts, and don't know about each other.  I guess the BBPAGER
knows about all the hosts to, but none of the web formatting
(page/subpage directives, group-only, group-compress, etc.) directives
in it.

To Sean and Robert-Andre's credit, BB is really quite simple.  

Any other questions you have would probably be answerable on this list
quite fast.

So, to answer your question - no training class for BB exists that I've
ever seen.

I would like to get up to speed quickly in BB. I have played with it a
bit
and understand it fairly well, I think, but I would like a deeper
understanding and my boss has offered to send me to a course, if such
exists.

Any suggestions? Local to the Houston Area would be great.
