As I posted in here, I've just passed my LPI 101 exam.

I know it's not Sun, but generally I'd say that its worthwhile knowing all the caveats of certain commands and principles. A lot of its basic stuff, but you'll find some "trick" questions in the exam designed to catch you out. The best way around this is to read the question very carefully.

I did notice a couple of errors within the questions in the LPI exam, which wasn't very good form. i.e.

What directive indicates what fonts are available to X in the XF86Config file?

The answer was, of course, FontPath "unix/:7100" but the question was incorrect, as it doesn't indicate what fonts are available, it indicates that a font server is running locally and it should look there for its fonts.

So also be logical - if a question seems ambiguous, then look at the answers and remove those that are obviously incorrect.

Cheers

ttylinkd

TTYLINKD(8)						   Linux System Managers Manual 					       TTYLINKD(8)

NAME

       ttylinkd - TTYlink daemon for AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE and IP.

SYNOPSIS

       ttylinkd [-hv] [-c callsign] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

       ttylinkd  is  a simple daemon that allows incoming ttylink calls to be routed through to Linux's normal talkd(8) system and provides a pipe
       between the two.

       ttylinkd is usually setup to be spawned from ax25d(8) or inetd(8) but can, since version 0.03,  be  used  on  the  command  line,  although
       talk(1) is a much better idea for interactive users.

       Use splitscreen(1) for outgoing ttylink sessions.

OPTIONS

       -v	 Display the version.

       -h	 Display some help and information on it.

       -c callsign
		 Disable callsign checking and use the given callsign for a name for this end of the link.

       -f file	 Use <file> for the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/ax25/ttylinkd.conf

FILES

       /etc/ax25/ttylinkd.conf	the configuration file for ttylinkd

SEE ALSO

       talk(1), splitscreen(1), ttylinkd.conf(5), ax25d(8), inetd(8), talkd(8).

BUGS

       There is still some need for some checking of who is still logged on.

       The daemon may hang if you disconnect from it strangely.

       There is no real way of working out what is going on with talkd.

       If you do not have a talk daemon going on the specified host then the program will tend to sit there and do nothing.
