Thank you for all the feedback on the general job description! I apologize that I didn't get the remaining sections out for discussion :( Unfortunately my Internet connection while at Linux World fell through. The following messages are going to focus on some general technical aspects. In the job description itself we are not going to focus on technical specifics. For instance, we aren't going to say "Level 2 is required to know RAID". Therefore, please keep these following discussions to topic. The "Technical Requirements" themselves are not going to remain in the official job description. They are only being used during development to help emphasize differences between Level 1 and 2, and help the upcoming objective writers and psychometricians work on the next step of development. As last time, please review the section in question, and then answer the questions below. Section for review: Topic 1: User Administration Text: Many topics within User Administration have been covered in the Level 1 exam. In level 2, LPIC needs to cover the engineering, management, and maintenance of the systems required for network users. Administration of authentication policies, remote user access to things such as ftp, telnet, and secure connections. The skills used in User Administration are essential to the foundation of all Linux sysadmins. These mastered skills will not be tested specifically during advanced levels of certification, but are required to complete the tasks that will be involved. ... Kara's Comments: The purpose of Topic 1, User Administration, was to help you visualize the level of User Administration a Level 2 would have over a Level 1. Q1: Do you feel that the above does outline User Administration types of tasks that Level 2 sysadmins do more often than Level 1? Q1 Answer/Comment: --- Q2: On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being not important, and 5 being most important, how would you scale the importance of advanced User Administration Tasks to a Level 2 sysadmin? Q2 Answer/Comment: --- Q3: Knowing that the majority of daily User Administration was covered in Level 1, please review the objectives for Level 1 on the website if you aren't familiar with these objectives. Are there any other _specific_ tasks you would have added here that are more advanced than Level 1? Please list single topics, not explanations or narratives here.
