I need to have the services of an on-call technician available for about six weeks in April and May. This person should be familiar with Windows XP, Linux Samba servers/firewalls, Hylafax, and Cyrus, and preferably have experience with Gentoo. Should have good experience with hardware troubleshooting and repair, able to scratch-build a system quickly if necessary.
You will need to be available on-site in the Westport area with reasonable notice (~1hr.) from approximately 8-5, Monday-Friday to provide services like emergency hardware resets and repair, recovery from kernel panics or driver errors, occasional PEBKAC, etc. You may occasionally be called on Weekends if there is a server outage. Weekend coverage is at your convenience, but you will be expected to make reasonable efforts to have the system on-line by Monday morning. You will not be expected to be available 24x7.
The systems are reasonably reliable and stable; this position is a fall-back to cover the remote monitoring and management of the site. You may not be called at all, and it will be unlikely that we will require more than two hours per week of on-site service.
