Why is ls -F the classify option? Usually these make sense like -l being long format

scottalanmiller

Because all the other cool letters were taken?

I honestly never use -F. Where it's not already set at a system level alias, I will change ls to `ls --color=auto'. Much easier to read in general I think.

Besides the --color=auto, -a, -l, and -h are really the few operators I tend to use with ls.

i think -d can be useful although I've never used it before today

I have gotten so used to ll that it pisses me off when I have to type out ls -alF.

Trouble Spots of the RCHE Exam:

SELinux: All services that are configured on the RHCE exam are supposed to be used in a context where SELinux is offering full protection.

Kerberized NFS Server Configuration: The RHCE objectives focus heavily on configuring a Kerberos protected NFS server. This topic is particularly complicated, because the procedure to set up a Kerberized NFS server has changed between RHEL 7.0 and 7.1.

Setting up iSCSI: The candidate has to be able to set up an iSCSI target as well as an initiator. Although this is not extremely hard to do, many administrators don't do this on a regular basis and for that reason don't have enough hands on experience.

Setting up Aggregated Network Interfaces: Setting up aggregated network interfaces using bonding or teaming is challenging, as it risks messing up the current network configuration, which will for sure lead to failure on the exam.

Creating Advanced Samba Configurations: The candidate has to be aware of many advanced Samba features, such as share based access control, SELinux configuration for Samba, and multi-user mounts.

Web Services: The configuration of Apache web services is among the essential topics on the EX300 exam. Advanced tasks such as configuration of virtual hosts, setting up private directories, and configuration of TLS security need to be completed.

Definitely have a lot of studying to do. Reading every day.

Which book is that from? Do your books cover 7.1?

wirestyle22

@scottalanmiller This is from here: http://www.pearsonitcertification.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2438789

I don't have the RHCE Certification Book with me currently. I'm reading through the 500 ish pages of the command line book

Edit: If it doesn't I will simply buy a book that does

Was the less command actually giving more options than more a joke on the part of the creators? lol

less is more

Well, it is newer. I need to get into the habit of using less instead of more still myself.

Especially if you are following a set of predefined instructions with no guide on troubleshooting issues that come up.

I actually never used either. I just opened everything up in a text editor and didn't edit it but that is a dangerous way to do it.

You have it backwards. Less is the new one that replaced more. It's getting out of the habit of using more that us old timers need to do. We only had more when I started.
