to be familiar with it just becuase he is a CCIE? Obviously, if you had
spec'd that you needed a CCIE who was familar with unix, as well as the
software in question, you would have had people who could do the task.

I'd be willing to bet last months rent payment that there is at least one
CCIE out there who /doesnt/ know how to make the required changes on a
windows machine..perhaps he or she grew up out of a Mac environment, for

If you have a position that requires certian skillsets make SURE the
people who fill the position match those skillsets. If you rely on a
certification that has nothing to do with any of the other skills you
need..well. You get what you get.
Everyone was a newbie at one time or another. And the rest of us find
there is always more to learn, certifications or no.
