I had recently given RHCE out of 16 i had solved 15 question and i had re checked the output even after restart and all were correct and today i got my result i had failed 208 out 300.....can one help below are my queries..

Can i raise the same query with redhat?

does anyone here help with link of rechecking or raising the query for above crisis?

Sorry, but you failing an exam is not a 'crisis'.

If you have questions about scoring, contact the testing center or Red Hat

Thanks a lot for quick reply can i get any mail id or links

No thanks...you can look up Red Hats website on your own. And you can also just call the testing center where you took the test..

Nothing will be resolved except one more time RH let you know your result ... and ask you try another time with practice more. This is my experience when i contacted RH.
But by the way next time you will clear it. I did it so far it is really sweet in 2nd try believe me

Again, as we told the original poster, if you have questions about the exams and scoring, contact the testing center or Red Hat. What do you expect anyone here to be able to tell you?

Also, you may want to re-read the LQ Rules...you posted the same question twice, reopened an old thread, and hijacked it with your own question, none of which are good things. Open your own thread for your own question.

Wow first you were spamming techexams.net with this same question and now you're spamming linxuquestions.org as well? Be warned, people aren't as friendly on this site.

If you flushed the rules of an iptables firewall and then saved it, the effect is identical to disabling it.

Any production system that includes an empty firewall (or disabled SELinux, for that matter) is a system that is begging for a break-in. I believe that anyone who saves an empty firewall on a production system should not work as a network engineer.

I hate to wish ill on anyone, but (assuming your statements are true) I am glad that Red Hat standards do not support such practices.

You certainly are in no position to judge anything pertaining LQ.
Apart from the fact that we've been more than lenient with you.
So please keep yourself from making negative comments like that.

I took the RHCSA 8 months ago and failed 168/300 because I did not know the LDAP objective. And the smallest things I never thought would get me, did. I realized this after when I was working on my own machine. I remember writing rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and then I did service iptables save. Well all I did was save the existing rules overwriting the file I just edited! These little things plus the LDAP buried me. But now I am studying for the RHCE hardcore. I already know every task for the RHCSA except one of them I can't mention. It seems rather impossible but I'm sure it is just very tricky. I think the RHCSA is harder than the RHCE. But soon I'm going to ace them both. The idea is they want you to remember the commands without even having to look at any notes. We know as admins we are always referencing notes or documents or something online to get something done. But administrative tasks should be memorized as much as possible since they are used almost natively. If you had to look at your notes for everything, then it would make your job extremely difficult.

There's a reason why that particular examination is "tough" ... because, it is on the front-line of the "world-wide war" battlefield that everyone's corporate data-center has become. It is far worse to "think that you're secure," and to be wrong, than to "think that you're insecure," and be right.

So, these tests in particular test all sorts of "edge cases" and things that you might think are right, but that for obscure reasons are not as they seem. They grill you on procedures because leaving-out even one of the steps in those procedures can leave a system at-least "improperly protected" with nothing to warn you that this is the case.

Even if you don't take the certification courses, don't care about certifications at all, these are very good continuing-education. I've suggested that several clients look into them (not necessarily from RH), for that very reason.

I have removed my post. Thanks for the explanation in the other form. I am referring the books as well. I know that I can add rules via GUI for each service but just in case I don't have enough time for troubleshooting each service then I can disable FW/IPtables. I don't want to spam any website but Just wanted to get some clarification to get answer as soon as I can.

You're using backwards logic.
Setting up firewall rules is a part of configuring a particular service. The basic firewall is already in place. All you need to do is add rules for new services you configure. There is nothing to flush, or save when flushed. Add new rules and restart iptables. Optionally, list rules to see if everything is OK and/or test connectivity. Let me repeat again: do not flush the rules. Do not disable iptables.
