RHCE tops CertCities.com’s 10 Hottest Certifications for 2006

by Venkatesh Hariharan

This article tracks which certifications are likely to be hot in 2006 and the RHCE certification topped the list. Interesting comment at the end of this article on the demand for Linux professionals outstripping the demand for general Microsoft administration skills. Venky http://www.certcities.com/editorial/features/story.asp?EditorialsID=95 #1: Red Hat Certified Engineer Vendor: Red Hat Reader Interest Score (out of 20): 17 Buzz Score (out of 10): 8 Total: 25 If you're looking for yet another sign that Linux is becoming a real player, then you've got it. While Linux certifications have regularly made our Hot Cert list over the past few years -- in fact, the RCHE has appeared on this list since we started it for 2002 -- this is the first time one has ever taken the top spot. Quite a feat, especially when you consider that the vast majority of CertCities.com's readers are Windows professionals. So how did this Linux title break through to No. 1? Having a stellar reputation never hurts, and Red Hat is well known for the quality of its RHCE lab exam, which tests candidates' hands-on skills with Red Hat Enterprise. "It's a truly challenging certification," commented Dulaney. "It carries a lot more respect than others in the market." But the title wouldn't go anywhere unless its skills were seen as marketable. And according to Morris, high-level Linux skills may be more marketable than some might think. "These days…it seems that demand for a great Linux person outstrips the demand for general Microsoft administration skills," commented Morris. "Not that Microsoft is going anyplace, but serious Linux networking is more [rare]. While [this is] not my personal area of interest, I highly recommend that others look at it with keen interest." http://www.certcities.com/editorial/features/story.asp?EditorialsID=95

synchronizing samba and kerberos password

by Senthil

we have a kerberos and samba server running in our lab for authenticating the linux and windows user respectively. both use openldap 2.2.23 as the backend. The problem is we need to synchronize the password in both kerberos and samba. we tried including an overlay called smbk5pwd that comes with openldap3. but we were not able to do that. How do we include smbk5pwd in openldap2.2.23 ? is there any other solution for synchronizing the password in samba and kerberos. we are using MIT kerberos V -- S.Senthil Kumaran blog : http://sskganesan.blogspot.com

Umbrella Installation Software

by Puneet Lakhina

Hi all, Does there exist a sort of umbrella installation mechanism that could take care of the specific ways of installing various software distribution mechanisms. I mean if the software is a tar file it should extract it, and then provide me with a dialog box for configure script flags and execute make and make install. Or for rpms it should execut the command rpm with appropriate flags. If it does not exist do you think there is any merit in trying to build one?? I know its just a gui for certain commands but if it helps non-programmer users why not?? -- Puneet

by nipra

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shakthi Kannan <cyborg4k(a)yahoo.com> Date: Dec 23, 2005 1:35 PM Subject: [Ilugc] All FSUGs/GLUGs IRC Meet: Jan 1, 2006 To: ilugc(a)ae.iitm.ac.in Cc: fsf-tn(a)gnu.org.in Greetings! There were discussions in Indian GNU/Linux Users' Group, Mumbai on where to have the January month's meeting. I had an idea. What if all our FSUGs/GLUGs members from all over India meet together, online?. How would it be if we all meet in the beginning of the New Year? After discussion with the channel ops, I am happy to call for an all-India FSUGs/GLUGs members meet on January 1, 2006 at 1500 hrs IST at #gnu-india on irc.freenode.net. No agenda as such. The idea is to get to meet folks from different FSUGs/GLUGs, get to know what FSUGs/GLUGs have been and are working on, free software ideas/suggestions/plans/activities for 2006. I will broadcast this message to as many FSUGs/GLUGS that I am member of and that I know of. Please feel free to spread the word. Thanking you all and looking forward to meeting you all, SK (a.k.a mbuf on irc.freenode.net) -- Shakthi Kannan, MS Software Engineer, Hexaware Technologies [E]: cyborg4k(a)yahoo.com [M]: (91) 98407-87007 [W]: http://www.shakthimaan.com [L]: Chennai, India __________________________________________ Yahoo!
