Sun Offers Free Solaris Security Beta

2/12/2003 -- Sun Microsystems recently announced a beta exam for its upcoming Solaris security title.

As previously reported on CertCities.com, Sun plans to release a security-specific Solaris title sometime in the first-half of 2003. The company currently offers two Solaris certifications for systems and network administrators.

The free beta will be held from Feb. 15 through March 8. Qualified candidates can apply for the exam through Sun's Web site, here. Those who pass the beta will earn credit toward certification, Sun said.

Smith from Orlando, FL says:	If I know Sun, this will be: 1. 50% general, but _detailed_ TCP/IP and security 2. 50% of "you memorized the man pages, right?" of Solaris configs/utilities. (2) is a perfect example of why "computer-administered" testing is NOT like the "real world." Admins with 6 or more years of Solaris cannot pass the these stupid tests because you have to memorize far too many little used options that you'd normally just consult the man page for. Sun (and others) call this a "hard test" for that reason. I call it stupid because you have to study the test itself (which I did and passed all the SCSA/SCNA ones I've took so far).
