RHCE skills
Troubleshooting and System Maintenance

RHCEs must demonstrate the RHCT skills listed above, and should be able to:
use the rescue environment provided by first installation CD
diagnose and correct boot failures arising from bootloader, module, and filesystem errors
diagnose and correct problems with network services (see Installation and Configuration below for a list of these services)
add, remove, and resize logical volumes
diagnose and correct networking services problems where SELinux contexts are interfering with proper operation.
Installation and Configuration

RHCEs must demonstrate the RHCT-level skills listed above, and they must be capable of configuring the following network services:
HTTP/HTTPS
SMB
NFS
FTP
Web proxy
SMTP
IMAP, IMAPS, and POP3
SSH

NTP

For each of these services, RHCEs must be able to:
install the packages needed to provide the service
configure SELinux to support the service
configure the service to start when the system is booted
configure the service for basic operation
Configure host-based and user-based security for the service

RHCEs must also be able to:
configure hands-free installation using Kickstart
implement logical volumes at install-time
use iptables to implement packet filtering and/or NAT
use PAM to implement user-level restrictions
