@pludi & Celtic_Monkey: Thanks for giving me some ideas...what about lab workbooks that would give me hand-on projects?

@jhtrice: How do I find a mentor or guru? Should I seek one in my city ( San Diego, CA ) or would an online mentor/guru work?

@rhfrommn: Thanks for your insights! I noticed even part-time entry level system admin still requires some experiences. Its like egg & chicken theory. Maybe volunteer / intern work would be easier to set foot in the door. Another idea would be local user groups?

YP/NIS, NIS+ and LDAP users should be aware that it's possible to have conflict with users configured in here with the result that an error will occur. You should ensure that local user's home accounts are located on local filesystems - e.g. creating a new entry in /home when it's mounted with automount will not work and as such the user may not be created.
