Sorry for not having found them by myself if they are there, but I need to know where the following items are covered by the LPIC-1 and -2 objectives: 1) extended file attributes (chattr and lsattr); 2) Linux Capabilities (getcap, setcat, cap_from_text etc.). Regarding point (1), I consider their apt place to be 104.5 "Manage file permissions and ownership". As a day I was holding a class, the chattr command failed (chattr: Operation not permitted while setting flags on ...). I had to skip that point that day, and later I found the Linux Capabilities to be the culprit. So I had to cover those, too, which I did in the following class. But there is no place where I can be sure they are included. If someone does think they are in some place, please point that out to me. I considered as candidates the aforementioned 104.5 and: 1) 107.1 Manage user and group accounts and related system files 2) 203.3 Creating and configuring filesystem options; 3) 212.5 Security tasks Objective 212.5 is clearly network-centric, though. I also would like to know if there is any plan to switch the "205.1 Basic networking configuration" objective from the old style, wireless-tools commands (iwconfig) to the new style (iw) tools.
