I am concerned about bloating the certs. What one person feels is basic is advanced to another. I think beyond basic security such as initial out of the box hardening or locking down you inetd.conf for instance which would be common to all BSDs, everything else should be left to the elective advanced certs that are say OS specific. These first two certs should really be the basic minimal qualifications to administer a BSD box across the board. Once you start throwing in all of the various package/port methods, security theorems, et cetera it becomes a platform for enforcing/validating ones agenda rather than a proper cert. Again I'm just concerned.
One way to avoid bloat is to start at an intermediate level where you don't have to explain to people how to use the system manual or vi. I would much rather want to develop a certification program for people who know what Unix is rather than for people who have never worked on the command-line. Let's not be afraid to tell people who want to get BSD certification to do some work on their own before they begin they preparation for the BSD certs.
