Your answer clarifies some terms and concepts that sometimes are missed when translated.

You are close > in your appreciation of how job analysis works. As I understand it, here we are in a bottom-up aproach, begining with the tasks and then see the duties they fit in. I think we will surely miss something with this aproach. For me, Linux Security is about hardening hosts, firewalls, intrusion detection at network and host levels, things like that... not with exim, postfix, DNS... I think that this applications are more related to a job like "ISP Administrator", because are very "site specific", but this is just my opinion. I feel like I'm missing a piece of the picture.
