<div>The point is not if it is a reasonable question. The point is
to let the candidate solve a problem. Show me how you'd try to
solve it. Show how they think. Everyone's answer would be
different. </div>

<div>We could easily argue that not too many people can name the
purpose of every file in /etc. At least not in super level
detail. </div>

Speaking of tests, this came up on another list where I
participate...<br>
<br>
Ask the candidate how they would go about presenting a
very large sum of disk - say 700 PB to a system. What
would you need, how would you go about it?<br>
<br>
Would really let you see how the person thinks through a
problem.<br>
