BTW, here's my idea of the "optimium set of exams" ... It's not merely the first 3 I listed ... - Directory, Authentication and Name Services - Network File Services - Systems and Network Security - Availability and Redundancy - Internet and Web Services - Collaboration and Mail Services - Database Administration - Configuration and Project Management Now that doesn't include Desktop, Development or some other, possibly exams later on. But that's the "core" of what I consider an advanced, Enterprise Linux administrator should know -- with the very first as the _foundation_ of _all_ network services. A Samba-only exam really sets the _wrong_ stage. Samba _will_ make up the _bulk_ of the first 2 exams, but most of those services are _inter-related_ to others. We can't do one exam and then step back and go "oh, yeah, I guess these are inter-dependent or have integration issues, and we now need to test on that." We organize by the _type_ of _each_ solution. How does Winbindd integrate into ADS? Legacy UNIX (local, NIS, etc...)? How do we map ADS to LDAP? Schemas for Samba? Exports? Etc...? How do we do name resolution? Resource location? Etc...? That's authentication, directory and naming right there! Same deal with ACLs, locking, etc... on files that are both exported NFS and shared with Samba? NFS is _more_ than just legacy, 25 year-old "sys" authentication/authorization mode! And it has _major_ impacts with Samba shares and exports too! And what about when we want to use Kerberos, NTLM, NSS, etc... authentication for Internet services in future exams? Do we now "re-test" on all those _basic_ authentication services that we could do in a "foundation" exam like auth/dir/name? Do we recover how Winbindd works to map users to ADS or Samba at those service levels? LDAP-Samba and MS Kerberos all over again? -- Bryan J.
