• The Path to Senior SysAdmin

  by Adam Moskowitz

  Being a senior system administrator is about more than knowing all the options to mount(8) or that modprobe is what’s used to replace that buggy kernel modulePat with the latest version. Rather, a good senior sysadmin will have a wide knowledge of relevant technical topics, in-depth knowledge of one or more technologies, good interpersonal skills, and the ability to manage "problem users" and will be comfortable making presentations to and negotiating with mid- and upper-level management. This talk will cover the skills a senior sysadmin needs and why they are necessary and will provide some suggestions for how to acquire these skills.
