Hi all,
Finally I gathered all my courage and register for RHCE exam yesterday. Exam will be on 20th Aug. I know what I don't know or not confident in and focusing on those specially.
The exam style has been changed. So now I am open to any suggestions from you all. I haven't read the official books though but at registration time they made me buy the 3rd book which is now mandatory as per Redhat. I hope the other two books won't be that much new which I haven't came across. The problem is I don't have any idea how deep the exam covers.
Lets practice and practice and see what happens.
i took my RHCE about a year ago, also taking the week long class. I do not remember many specifics, but what I do remember is:
- make sure you can navigate, create, format partitions
- know how to install, remove, update via RPM. You also might want to read a bit more into RPMs as they had me locate which file matches an RPM.
- Enabling and using file permission ACL's
- Recovering a b0rked system that no longer boots!
Thanks for the reply.
The sectors I am concerned about are iptables, selinux & printer. have no idea how much deep the questions will be on these.
The others I hope I can manage.
iptables - know how to setup a custom firewall by command line. starting a new rule, adding, removing from the rule, and allowing FTP connections through (theres a option and module for that)
selinux - know how to turn it on and off, temporarily turn it off, locate and resolve selinux problems (log files / restorecon)
printers - we went over how to do CUPS setup in the classroom through the web based gui, but to be honest, I do not remember anything in the actual test on it
I am also planning to go for RHCE somewhere in October as I had just completed my basic RHEL-5 training classes.
Could anybody please suggest me that whether I should try on my own for the test, or should I try to go for some crash course before going for the real test ?
Also, DRD had suggested few important aspects which needs to be given special attention, then could you please tell me that is it configuration of various servers which covers major portion of RHCE exam, or is it like various trouble shooting problems and Installation/uninstallation which takes major chunk ??
So ..... finally , what was the score ?
I'm sure you would have made it easily cent per cent!
Me due for testing next weekend, so pls give some desparately
needed tips, minding the secrecy limits though. Since I'm totally self-educated for the test, feeling in the same boat.
(When I saw your post, wished that i could have provided you with some, had i been tested earlier).
