I disagree. Samba is widely used indeed, but I see Linux mostly deployed as an "Internet" platform (web, mail, etc) and low-level network functions (firewall, VPN, etc). By your logic, why not make a mandatory exam on these subjects too then ? Also, I believe that Samba is very much a specialization. The skillset required for Samba administration is very specific to this task, and not generally useful. I would rather see core exam being about generally useful stuff such as advanced networking, security, etc. -- Etienne Goyer 0x3106BCC2 "Most people use passwords. Some people use passphrases.
