It should include ldap integration. As well as other authentication set ups. > But I don't think winbind would be part of the core exam.

Just two exams right now. Whether the tasks end up being part of the 'samba' or the 'ldap' exams will be fleshed out as we organize everything into objectives. > Second, I can't imagine anyone using winbind outside a scenario of Windows > integration.

Well, we're Linux focused but integration is a real world scenario that we should cover, too. We should include winbind and let the JTA tell us how important it is to everyone. > By the way, I like your "Availability and Redunancy" proposal, and even > think this could be another core LPIC-3 exam, or at least part of it.

It may be possible to have an LPIC-3 with no core exam. It's just an unqualified LPIC-3. Then it's combinations of multiple exams to get something like an 'LPIC-3 Security Specialist' or and 'LPIC-3 Enterprise Architect' or ... > > I'm just saying take the common stuff -- the network-wide synchronization > > of objects, authententication and resource information -- and put it in a > > single exam.

It is an advanced level exam, after all.
