Hummm . . . That's not how I took it. I thought it meant a Level II
admin has to be proficient at the technical aspects of the job and begin
to delve into the management and planning aspects. You can think of this
as near-guru level for a techincal track person or management groming for
the management tracked professional.

You are correct that the definition does tend towards complete technical
competance which we all understand to be near impossible due the breadth
and depth of total systems administration. Who can know every package,
command, option, command-line switch there is to very command? Perhaps
a statement to that effect is needed. Perhaps specialists in, say . . .
web and e-commerce systems can be Level II just as the core business
systems specialists (accounting, finance, marketing) can.
Maybe it's enough to have the experience of a core group of commands and
packages so that a journeyman can show he/she has the ablility to master
and command. I liken this to knowing several programming languages. If
you already mastered C, Pascal, and Perl, how hard is it for you too
learn Java or C++? maybe that's the point and that is what should be
stated.

HA HA HA HA! Not if he has a group of Level I's around that are in
training for level II! :-)
