I am seeking a very part time (10 to 12 hours per month on the SysAdmin side, varying amounts of time on the programming side) Linux systems administrator and PHP programmer to maintain 3 leased linux servers and do some basic programming projects for my small ISP.
The pay isn't very much, and there isn't much glory in it, either, but it'll be good experience and you'll probably get to have some hands-on experience with some software you've never worked with before.
On the SysAdmin side, you need to be willing to learn about radius and radius software (we currently use Cistron, but this is open to change if there's a good reason for it), e-mail server software (currently Postfix), and basic linux administration. Of the 3 servers, only one has a server control panel (Ensim) - the other two are just raw linux installations and will be staying that way, so you need to know how to work from the command line.
On the programming side, we have a back-end administrative system that at the moment is "in working condition" but is far from "complete" that always needs work. We also have a programming project to integrate SpamAssassin into our mail server system (probably not strictly a PHP project, but what we need is more than just installing SpamAssassin, there will be some programming required there), and we're very soon going to need to upgrade our billing software.
Our current SysAdmin, who is leaving in two weeks, is willing to work with the new candidate to get you familiar with everything.
If you're interested in this position, please e-mail me at jason@allstarisp.com with your qualifications and salary requirements (keep those salary requirements low - as I said, there's not much money in this position).
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. - when you e-mail me, *please* tell me if you're on a FutureQuest. I'm posting this ad several places, but I'd rather hire someone from here (FutureQuest just has the best customers in the world, and the fact that, from what I've seen over the years, FQ seems to hire virtually all of their staff from right here among their user base speaks volumes about the quality of people that come here to host their web sites. So tell me if you're a FutureQuest customer, it'll give you a leg up.)
