"Best of LISA papers" opinions requested

[Pat Wilson <paw@northstar.dartmouth.edu>]

Folks -

Someone at a SAGE BOF held at the recent Usenix Security conference
suggested it would be good to have a "Best of LISA papers" list - someplace
you might point sysadmins who weren't up on the literature to keep them
from re-inventing the wheel (or at least give them ideas about where the
potholes might be).

For example, the "swatch" paper from LISA VII changed the way I do things:

<a href="http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa93/hansen.html">
Automated System Monitoring and Notification With Swatch, Stephen E. Hansen
       & E. Todd Atkins Stanford University</a>

What are the papers that have influenced _you_ the most and you think that
everyone should read?  The ideas that you couldn't wait to get home and
implement?  Let me know.  Once I've got a few, we'll put up a web page.
