ACSA

I’ve not yet looked into getting this cert – what is involved? How different is it from ACTC? Just (for now) curious.

I’m taking the tests tomorrow. Any other last minute recommendations?

BTW, to those that don’t know: Apple is running a promotion until the end of the year that each OS X test you pass this year gets you a free OS X test next year. Therefore, if you pass one of the two tests this year, you get a freebee do-over next year for the other test. If you pass both tests, you get to take the 10.4 update for free.

I did not take the class, BTW. I only recall there being two routing table questions… three at the most.

I’d tell you more, but I kind of like us ACSAs being few and far between…

The bottom line is that you can get enough from the server admin guides and man pages to pass the test.

You do still have to have a clue about Unix user and permissions management, though. Do you know what a umask is?

I do find it odd that these tests didn’t overlap with the ACHDS test. You don’t have to have a clue what the differences between /Library, /System/Library, and ~/Library are.

Can You point out where it is mentioned…
