suggested updates to draft-asai-vmm-mib-03.txt

Attached please find my suggested patch to the draft-asai-vmm-mib-03.txt

In short:

1. Introduce a new TC called VirtualMachineList. It
   is a clone of Q-BRIDGE-MIB PortList

2. Introduce a new managed object, vmBulkNotificationsEnabled, to report which type 
   of events to receive, either bulk or existing per vm notifications.

3. Adds a parallel set of notifications to match: vmRuning, vmShutdown, vmPaused,
vmSuspended, vmCrashed, vmDeleted that only send a new accessible-for-notify 
variable vmAffectedVMs using SYNTAX VirtualMachineList.

Lastly,  I've added some comments (grep mrm) about what clients
should expect with vmName, vmUUID, vmIndex based on my prior
deployment experience with the similarly structured VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB.

Once patched, the VM-MIB should be syntactically correct to smilint -l9. 
Here are the pre-existing diagnostics before/after the patch.

$smilint -l 9 ./UUID-TC-MIB ./VM-MIB
./UUID-TC-MIB:71: warning: current type `UUID' is not referenced in this module
./UUID-TC-MIB:82: warning: current type `UUIDorZero' is not referenced in this module

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.

We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware

Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 

We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See

SSH Key Management for Automated access

A new draft "SSH Key Management for Automated Access - Current Recommended Practice" has been published on
managing SSH keys.  The topic has been discussed in SAAG in the last two IETF meetings, and we also had a side
meeting on the topic in Orlando.  I'm sending this to ops-area, because the topic relates to operations and
management more than technical details on security (though admittedly more to general management of IT
systems, especially unix/linux environments, than management of routers or networks, but SSH is also
very widely used for managing routers and telecommunications networks).

The draft can be found at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ylonen-sshkeybcp-01

The draft is relevant for anyone interested in SSH user key management and more generally identity and
access management for automated access and/or based on the SSH protocol.  We have found hundreds of
thousands to millions of SSH authorized keys from the IT environments of many large enterprises (many
times more than they have interactive users), and bringing key-based access under control is very
important.  The draft outlines the risks with unmanaged key-based access and presents a process for
remediating the situation in an existing environment and implementing an ongoing process for
monitoring and managing key-based access (and other automated access).

I am hoping the draft will evolve into a BCP (Best Current Practice) standard on managing SSH user keys in
organizations.  The draft is mostly about process and policy, not technical protocols, as SSH user key
management is really an identity and access management issue and the problems involve policy, process,
and auditing related to controlling access to information systems in an organization, especially with
regards to automated machine-to-machine access.

A mailing list sshmgmt <at> ietf.org has been created for discussion about the draft (and other issues related
to managing SSH).  Please send comments on the draft to the list.  To subscribe (or unsubscribe), go to: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sshmgmt

OPS open hours during IETF 86

Dear all,

The OPS Area open office hours will take place on Monday March 11th, 
10:00 to 11:00 (exact room to be confirmed later). Please come to talk 
to us on any WG or area items, about new proposals, or about any other 
IETF-related business.

There are no OPS meetings during that slot, so (OPS) collisions are 
reduced to a minimum.

An advanced notification would be appreciated.
