So now that we've got a handle on the semantics issue what say we throw some ideas around for what Jr should know and be able to do?
1. For this phase can we try to list all of the things that are common to the BSDs?
inetd.conf
fstab
rc.conf...
Any and all system crontab jobs (Including all periodic, weekly, daily, monthly, security, etc)
Any and all startup scripts and locations
Any and all rescue measures including backup and restore options
The basics of how to install any of the BSD OS's
Know the partitions of the OS's
2. What basic commands should they know? man ls kill -HUP tar
I feel all that reside in sbin and bin
3. What basic tasks should they know? Check and understand load averages Setup zones in bind or just modify existing ones? Add new users to the system tcsh?
All the shells - know the differences and how to set the environments
Know what files to change for global user defaults
Know how to setup and or print (lpd and or cups)
Know the default MTA's
Know the differences between ipfw/ipf etc, and how to flush/stop/restart them.
Know the basics of Apache/httpd (IE: config file, location of config file, directory structure, etc.)
There are a few that I can think of.
