This can happen especially if you do the certification with a particular app then the boss gets HIS apps in as you said. > > My point is that it's too easy for admins to never get out of > their 'comfort zone', and they lose that 'edge'. I agree this is a problem to look into but unfortunatly, you can't expect to learn everything. > > OTOH, I do think the certification should be limited to > more or less 'standard' services.

The point I was trying to make (maybe with a bad example) is that by forcing any particular app to be used for the cert, even for something as dominant as Apache or sendmail, you close the doors to those who don't want or don't know how to use it. I think it should instead focus on particular requirements or tasks. > > Best Regards, > Jim B. > > _______________________________________________ > BSDcert mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert > _______________________________________________ BSDcert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
