Bryan, you may just have a rather good idea here and I find I'm in agreement. SELinux is becoming more and more prevalent and at LPIC-2 level I think it correct that an admin knows their way around the basics. At the very least they need to know how to switch it off <joke>, or how to avoid making things worse. As a point of reference, the RHCE coverage of this topic feels about right to me, I suspect you are thinking the same. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
