I am preparing some Linux training for our programming staff who would like
to know about Linux but who work almost entirely with Windows right now. I
figure I'll stand on the shoulders of giants and follow the RHCE exam
objectives, edited for my company's context. Ok, so am I totally thick or
are the objectives of the RHCE exam not explicitly listed on-line?
Working on the assumption that they are basically the "what you will learn"
bullets from the courses, I have extracted a list of learning objectives and
ranked their importance to this position. I have these questions for anyone
familiar with the course or exam ("objectives" are marked with a plus sign):
+Configure inetd
+Configure basic host security
+Local security
What distinguishes these three items (or are they redundancies across RHCE
courses)?
+Red Hat Linux-based security tools (???)
Which are??? Does this mean stock tools (ipchains, tcp_wrappers, etc.) or
is there something else I'm missing?
+Overview of OSS security tools
Here's my list; am I missing any? How/why is this different from the "Red
Hat Linux-based security tools" objective?
portsentry, tripwire, libsafe, logwatch, ipchains, bastille Linux, ssh, scp
+Create and maintain (?) the Linux filesystem
Could anyone flesh out what 'maintain' means? Is this just running fsck
periodically? or more than that? It doesn't seem that I do much maintenance
so I'm probably ignorant of this aspect...
+Perform common file maintenance tasks
+Perform basic troubleshooting
+Kernel security
+Security sources and methods
+Control common system hardware
Does anyone care to flesh these out more? What tasks/concepts/commands am I
supposed to teach?
Thanks VERY MUCH!
