Hello Kara and All, The look, feel and workability of the new task collection seems great! Its also fast and responsive, which will help. Good job to the team on that!
For all - note the set of instructions for what a 'task' is can be found at https://www.lpi.org/en/examdev/jta/instructions.html. Kara - It seems a little bit ambiguous to me how specific a task must actually be. I tried to put in a few starter tasks - could you look at them and see if they are at the right level of specificity? Also, is there any preferred method of documenting the tasks? I see that there is a significantly large box to enter descriptive information into. Would it be best to paste a few sentences of dialog to better describe the task? Is is appropriate to include a reference URL? If these standards were established and consistently used at the start, it would probably make it easier to work with and integrate the various collected tasks. Without knowing these answers, I tried submitting a few tasks such as: L3-Security :: Harden operating system :: Locate setuid / setgid applications and remove permissions as needed Notes: "SUID and SGID files on your system are a potential security risk, and should be monitored closely. Because these programs grant special privileges to the user who is executing them, it is necessary to ensure that insecure programs are not installed. A favorite trick of crackers is to exploit SUID-root programs, then leave a SUID program as a back door to get in the next time, even if the original hole is plugged" http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/LDP/Security-HOWTO/file-security.html Thanks, Mark Lachniet > > Hey everyone, > > We're working really hard to put together a system to enable community > development on a wide, ongoing scale.
