If the focus right now is to get 2 exams, just any 2 exams, out for LPIC-3 that just cover whatever software is popular -- then I'll just keep my mouth shut. Because if that is the case, we should just do the Samba and Security exams various people have been talking about since 2005 or so.
But if the focus is to build a base examination for Linux enterprises -- where Linux is not merely a participant as a "department server" -- but an interoperating base of enterprise services for various network capabilities and clients, you have got to look at making LPI 301 the _core_ services -- authentication, directory and naming. Again, I don't think people realize that nmbd and winbindd provide these services -- but rather limited, legacy and Windows-only. They are not related to SMB as a file service, but as a greater part of an enterprise service strategy for auth/dir/name. It's not that complicated to go to the next step. But if we just want 2 exams, any 2 exams, I don't know what to say. Because I'm obviously the only one thinking differently. And maybe that means I need to just fill in the ELResource Wiki (damn I wish I would have done that instead of writing FAQs and other docs before, long story) so there is a "blueprint" for when you want to rev the entire LPIC-3 program in 2008+. -- Bryan J.
