CONFERENCE SERVICES
Internet Access/Wireless Network
USENIX is pleased to offer Internet connectivity for attendees of USENIX '06. 802.11b Wireless Internet access will be available in most of the conference space. The wireless network is open, insecure, and has the SSID "usenix". We also offer a terminal room with power, Ethernet connections, and a few *NIX computers for those without laptops. The conference network assigns NAT'd IP addresses via DHCP. Static assignments are available upon request.

is expressly forbidden.
- The wireless network is open and insecure. USENIX strongly recommends that all users encrypt their transmissions. Users are solely responsible for the security of their passwords and data.
