Is that as detailed as we get with the target audience?
The Linux+ audience is the help desk professional with 6+ months of
experience and doesn't really cover higher levels of support.
I guess the primary question is this: Is LPI concerned only about
Linux Professionals that are strictly categorized as system
administrators? If so, there are potentially a lot of things
that will fall completely outside the scope of LPI. Since system
administrators may not be create new device files at any level,
mknod may be one of them.
In short, I strongly believe that mknod is an important topic for
anyone who installs Linux on current technology. Whether it is a
task that is tied to system administration depends on our
definition. For example, I could say that a system administrator
should know how to install Linux, but perhaps not to the same
level as the person that is required to design the software build
(ie. standard desktop or server build) for a company that may only
have 1 year experience as well.
Cheers,
Ed
