Hi, i think a mix would be fine, for example the matter with multiple choice is:
Which BSD firewall software offers traffic shaping? A. nfs B. ipfw C. ipf D. tcpdump E. iptables so you can exclude A,D and E and you have a 50% chance. Believe my, i've done a whole exam (economy- and socialscience) this way and I had 56%! Well this mark is not that great but i've accomplished. I think, when you have the desired knowledge, you don't need multiple choise. otherwise i would ask "how is the packed flow in ipfw?" and let there a little space for drawing the flow. A certificate should be an evidence, so why shouln't the people write down a 30 line firewall configuration for a ,,BSD Firewall'' certificate? I mean... imagine the situation: you are by an potential customer who wants an firewall solution and he asks you "how does the packed flow works in ipfw?". man, does you have there an multiple choise? well you can say that you have made an firewall certificate where it was asked and you have choised the right answer... either you have the knowledge or not and if you have it you don't need to choose the right answer because you know it. _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
