Well, if we hadn't covered 'ssh -X' (really, ssh client use) in LPIC-1 and sshd (and other fun) in LPIC-2, then it wouldn't be inappropriate to add it to this exam. However, I'm trying to avoid what happened a few years ago between LPIC-1 and LPIC-2. Namely, redundant coverage of topics. These certs build on each other so, unless there is more detailed coverage of a topic, there shouldn't be a lot of over lap. This is why I was asking specifically about vnc/rdesktop and not ssh. I think that ssh is covered enough with the new objectives. Now, to address Sander's comment :) I actually made the statement this week that, in some respects, I think that it is easier to pass an LPIC-3 exam than it is the LPIC-2. My reasoning is that, where LPIC-2 covers a lot of different technologies and it is difficult for people to know when they know enough about each technology, LPIC-3 exams only cover a couple to a few technologies and you can't learn too much about it. So, am I out to lunch with that comment or does it have some validity? To me, it amounts to the fact that we can test some "easy" stuff if it is appropriate to the goals of the exam/cert.
