Dec. 14: Presenter:      David Collier-Brown

Topic:          Better Living through Dynamic Linking

Description:    Linux (and Solaris) provide a standard
                facility to "interpose" new functions between
                a program and any shared library.  The Samba
                team wrote a complete, portable "SMB Filesystem"
                using the loader this way, and Sun has written
                a truss/strace for library calls, not just system
                calls.  This talk will show how to use the
                linker on Linux to insert arbitrary code under
                a compiled program.

Bio:            Dave is a developer at Sun Opcom in Toronto,
                and used interposition on the the Sun "ABI" team
                for several years. He is the third author of the
                O'Reilly Samba book.
