Most people don't assume that definition.
But I'm going on the 000-100/RHCT v. 200-300/RHCE definition.
(I keep forgetting that RHCE is 200-300, RHCT is not 200).

I'm an American that actually doesn't watch too much TV.
I'm also building stuff at work, and will be up all night
at my client.

Actually, IPSec is typically treated as VPN, even though it
is much more than that. In fact, most people don't think of
IPSec, but they think of Cisco/VPNC, etc...
But just to "throw out the Red Hat name again," just recently
Red Hat got OpenSWAN to pass the full certification suite
for IPSec in IPv6 -- allegedly the first to do such.

I haven't slept much. The less I sleep, the more I babble.
I especially find that I use technical lists as my "break"
when I'm unable to escape work, but have free time between
waiting on builds, boots, etc... ;)

Just running "ci" on my /etc/wvdial.conf saved my bacon
on-the-road when I stupidly ran system-config-network and
it stupidly wiped it out leaving no backup. Thank God for
that little ",v" file that RCS generates with one command
("ci -l wvdial.conf"). ;)
Oh man I didn't even bother with the bugzilla report on that
one, but went right at the source.

Dude ... date, time, exact change.
Saved my bacon over and over.
You don't need a full configuration management system.
That puts off 99% of administrators.
Two weeks into a client I just started, I let it out
when systems were going down ...
"Who the hell changed /etc/hosts?!?!?!
They did it Monday at 3:14pm -- fess up now!"
The staff was shocked. I quickly had the "criminal"
from his literal, "how the hell did he know that"
whimper.
At one point I debated whether I'd let them all know what
that ",v" file was in the "RCS" subdirectory or not,
because I was afraid they'd just delete it by default.
But the better side got me and I let them know how to
run that one, simple command ("ci -l") as well as the
rcsdiff/rlog, plus the reminder to create RCS so it
goes separately in that directory (so it doesn't get
zapped with "rm filestart*")

8pm here too. Will be up until 8am. Probably best I
stop posting. Not getting any happier. ;)
