5) BSD OS vs. BSD technology certification.  That begs for a separate
treatment, so perhaps the certification ought to have three levels:

-- BSD OS administration and networking
-- advanced BSD networking
-- BSD security


In the BSD OS administration and networking curriculum I feel there
should be module that specializes in Migration from other environments
to BSD, this will specify safe and standard practices for migration,
Or should it be under another level ? what do you think?


I agree.  I think we should have migration modules at all levels.



Do you see this as a separate certification- or just a topic
that should be covered in the core BSD certification?


I wouldn't want that to be a separate certification.  I don't think it
would make sense anyway.  Perhaps an optional extension module?  Say
you'd have an option to take:

a) the core BSD security certification exam



Hmm. Now I have to know netfilter/ipchains to get a BSD cert?

I am concerned about bloating the certs. What one person feels is basic is advanced to another. I think beyond basic security such as initial out of the box hardening or locking down you inetd.conf for instance which would be common to all BSDs, everything else should be left to the elective advanced certs that are say OS specific. These first two certs should really be the basic minimal qualifications to administer a BSD box across the board. Once you start throwing in all of the various package/port methods, security theorems, et cetera it becomes a platform for enforcing/validating ones agenda rather than a proper cert. Again I'm just concerned.
