Welcome to the area, Tim, and thank you for offering to talk to the
group!
Security is a topic a number of the LUG members are very interested in.
I've currently got talks scheduled into the fall, but since our main 
presenter canceled this month I may have an opening before then.  Our 
KISS presentations are supposed to be a half hour long and oriented 
towards beginners.  Would this interest you or would you prefer the hour
long main meeting time slot (actually we recommend a 45 minute talk with
a 15 minutes for questions)?

Stories can be good.  I just hope they're not all horror stories to
frighten us into better security practices. ;-)  Let me know which of 
the above presentation formats will work for you and I'll get you 
scheduled in.
