I-FLEX PAPER ON 2nd APRIL
I attended "i-flex solutions ltd." off-campus interview on the 2nd of April 2007
Round 1: Aptitude Test
Round 2: Technical (Personal Interview)
Round 3: Human resourse (Personal Interview)
Apptitude test
Technical interview was on 2nd April 2007
The paper is not so tough........... So there's no need to worry. The questions are not so complex!
They are direct and easily approachable.
Pattern:
Total Questions = 50 qs.
Total Time given = 60 mins.
Mark Distribution: All questions carry 1 mark.
Correct Answers = +1 mark
Wrong Answers = -0.25 marks
The paper is divided into 5 sections of 10 questions each.
Analytical reasoning, logical reasoning and Data Interpretations were the questions there. Questions on english language skills were more.
Puzzles were not asked.
I don't remember all the questions, Some of them are given below.
Questions:
1-4. Find the pair which suits the best.
One of which i remember, I've given below
Q. Circuitous: Route
a. dumbfound: Astonishment
b. problem: solution and so on
5-8. Choose the best pair:
Here a sentence was given with two blank spaces. We have to find the best pair which fits into the sentence.
10-15. comprehension questions were asked
15-20. Data interpretation
21. A reasoning question was asked
22-24. A sentence was given, and one from a set of 4 solutions was asked to be opted, which gives the best solution or gives the correct meaning of the paragraph.
25-30. Data interpretation
Here a table was given, and in it few data were missing. Keeping all other information in mind, we were asked to choose the correct answer for the given questions.( Not so tough )
30-35. Another data interpretation question was asked.
Here the questions were easy. Be sure of the table given, because at first in tension I did not see the term 'total' below, so i considered it also to be a data and took it into calculation. Later i found that one out. But it was a waste of time. Even a single second counts!!!!
35-40.Verbal Reasoning questions were asked
This included questions like this. Some of which i remember are given below.
Q. All yyyy were swimmers;
All swimmers wear swim suits;
Sally wears swim suit;
Solns:
a. Sally does not know swimming
b. Sally is a swimmer
c. Sally is a yyyy
d. Data insufficient
Q. Data coding was asked.
eg. if PRATAP can be coded as 736467 and MILAN was coded as 98561, how can PLANT be coded? (This was not the question, but the type is the same)
40-50. Only Analytical Questions
Some of them are:
Q1. The square of a two digit number is divided by half the number, and 36 is added to the quotient. The sum is then divided by 2. The digits of the resulting number are the same as the number, but inreverse order. The digits in the tens place of the original number is twice the difference between the digits.which of the following could be the number?
a.64 b.36 c. 46 d. None of these
Q2. If a boat moves upstream with the speed of the boat as X and the speed of the stream is Y, what is the time taken by the boat to go upstream a distance of 90 kms and come back? (I'm not sure of the values of the speed of boat and stream ie., I dont remember the value of X and Y).
Q3. Auestion on sensex was asked.
I dont remember the rest of the questions!
Tips to attend effeciently:
1. Start-off with a word of prayer (This will increase the confidence level for sure)
2. Start attending questions of English Language skills and then logical or analytical reasoning.(This will accelerate your speed of problem as they would be easier. You can feel it!).
3. First read the question which you are going to attend fully. Don't write down the given data before reading the question fully. This is because, most of them would be easier than you think they are to be! The last portion of the question may have a hint to solve the question directly. For example see Q1 in "40 - 50" .
4. When you feel a question is tough (even if they are not, but if you feel just on seeing ) move on to the next question. Don't waste time in a single question. THIS THE MISTAKE ALMOST EVERYONE WOULD DO. ( It may be even you! )
5. Don't hesitate to take risks. Even that counts! But be atleast 60% sure about it.
6. Attend atleast 40 - 45 questions. Don't go more than that. This would show that you are too confident on things which are not correct. These are for questions which have a chance of below 40% for being correct. Or it would show that you have copied or made a guess!
7. Look at your watch occasionally to be sure that you are not going beyond time for certain number of questions.
Frequent time-watching would increae tension level. So be careful.
8. Please don't try to attempt any mal-practice. There are different codes of question papers (even choices may differ). Further the i-flex officials will be on rounds. This is for sure. They caught about 36 students for copying in our center. This may lead to consequences even upto disqualification for ever (in case if you would like to attend i-flex again).
9. Ifyou have time left out go for the questions you were doubtful and not for the questions that you did not get answer.(But there will not be time for that. Fortunately I had about 20 seconds left before handing over the paper)
10. Finally when you close your paper, finish it with a word of prayer.
My Experience:
I started with prayer. This boosted my confidence level. Then I started the question in English section. This increased my speed and gave me enough time to attend the other questions. I left questions which were longer the first time and came back for them later. Those questions which I thought to be difficult , I did not even read them fully. "A WISE CORRECTS HIMSELF FROM OTHERS MISTAKES"
Be careful that you don't make such mistakes.
Personal Interviews: Technical Interview:
1. Questions were from one programming language (For non-IT and non-CSE students it will be C or what you have mentioned in your Resume).
2. Then questions from that branch or department will be asked (would be almost from the basics).
3. Also sometimes your strengths or field of interests would be asked (From your subjects).
Human Resourse:
1. Questions will be general as you have a technical round before it. Questions will be as * About yourself *Why do you wish to enter banking or IT field* Future plans* Why should I hire you* Why do you wish to become an engineer* What do you expect from i-flex*What do you like in yourself
2. Questions from your resume will be asked. You will be asked to explain the objective or aim that you have written in the Resume.
I with my friends were waiting from 7.30AM. We were called at 7.30PM for the first interview and then at 8.30 for the next interview. We were waiting for the results until 11.00PM. Then they came out and they read out the results.
By God's abundant, bountiful and extravagant grace, I got thru!!!
We were four friends there. And all of us got through! The most heart-pumping moment was when they announced the results. One by one of us were called at constant intervals. .waiting for the Offer Letter!!!!
Well for you who see this, take care not to miss the chance of getting thru if you have cleared the aptitude test.
All The Best. Let God Be With You.

And remaining Q's i dont remember exactly,,some Q's as usual from aptitude on;
simplification,
percentage,
boats,
area,
time & distance,
profit & loss,
data interpretation,
etc...

Q's on C,puzzles in between,abt oth sub's related to ur branch,(as i was from Industrial engg branch,they asked abt MIS,simulation...)
and oth's as usual HR Q's
It was 30 mins for me....
HR interview:-
it was very easy & they asked only simple Q's which any one can answer, but i think so it was also elimination round........

i followed the plan given by the chetana people only. i got only 10 dayz but with that 10 dayz i worked soooooooooo hard which changed my life. even u work hard. dont give up.

first of all u have to take care of ur health very well. because here health plays an important role.u should not waste even a single second . i said second (not minute) . every second preparation is very important not only for infy test but also for everything. so if u get any illness(even cold) u will not be able to concentrate well and do ur work properly.so take care of ur health well.

second u need atleast 14 hours a day for preparing. u know wen i started for preapring i dont know what is puzzle at all. but during the infy test i solved the puzzles. can u imagine juz 10 days of hardwork and longing made me to solve puzzles and get through. so get up at 5.30 take bath pray and sit for solving puzzle at 6 exactly. 6 to 8 prepare well. 2 hours u can do 10 puzzles. divide 2 hours for 10 puzzles set time in alarm and after 2 hours u should have finished. no excuses. here at this time u are the teacher for u. it is ur life so struggle hard.while preapring juz think same kind of puzzle u r going to get in the infy test paper. so u try to understand the solving method.

third while solving in the rough sheet that is while u r practising itself try to do it very very very neatly.it should be understandable. they not only see ur answer they will also see ur rought sheet , whther u have solved properly.
then from 8 to 9 have ur break fast.relax ur mind then again sit from 9 to 1 continuosly.4 hours . dont think to sit 4 hours conti is very difficult because we can sit to watch movies , to chat . then 1 hour for lunch

u will feel sleepy at that time u do breathing excercise.breathing ex is at the bottom . it makes u fresh.juz think that u r always fresh nowadays. think that u have got infy test tomorrow itself. and then prepare. now again sit for ur studies from 2 to 5. dont attend calls. if u are at home everybody will be sleeping even u will htink why shouldnt i sleep? but juz think this 10 dayz of hardwork is going to bring u a wonderfull job for u. after getting job u can sleep. then from 5 to 6 u wash ur face and have some health drinks. then from 7 to 9 solve puzzles again 9 to 10 supper. then from 10 to 11 revise what all puzzles u have solved that day. at 11 go to sleep.

u beleive or not i did that exactly.now for breathing excercise, u inhale slowly, when u inhale ur stomach should bulge out and wen u exhale ur stomach should bulge in.like wen i fill air in ballon it bulges out and wen u open it , it bulges in. that is only proper breathing. do that slowly for 5 minutes. u get lot of oxygen which makes ur brain very active and drives away ur sleep.wenever u feel sleepy u do that. then every one will say , u look so tired .you dont feel pity for urself . if someone says like that go , wash ur face, comb ur hair, do breathing ex and make urself fresh. this 10 dayz in ur life is goign to change ur life.

same question papers ya, u can find in chetana group mails, fresherworld exatra.but dont get confused by seeing the answers,most of the answers are wrong, u solve the question papers by urself. after following this plan for 7 days u urself will be able to solve the papers by ur own.

now days plan.think that u are going to have ur test 7 days after. so only 7 days. 2 days for shaku's book(300 puzzles) then other 2 days for shaku' II book(150 puzzles) and the remaining three dayz for george summers. for george summers u fix time 4 puzzles=1 hour.read the question understand it and then go to the solutionn directly.3 days u complete the book fully. u can do it. then remaiing three days u revise those books. u will foind it easier than before. so start solving the old question papers.
thaz alllllllllll
do well . i have typed what all i did. remaining is in ur hands . u have to do it.


QUESTIONS PAPER – MAY 8, 2005
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) There was a cycle race going on. 1/5th of the those in front of a person and 5/6th of those behind him gives the total number of participants. How many people took part in the race? (3 marks)

Ans : 31

Approach:
Let the total number of participants be X
So, [(x-1)/5 + 5(x-1)/6] = X

2) Today is Saturday. A person wants to meet a lawyer and as that lawyer is busy he asks him to come three days after the before day of the day after tomorrow? On which day the lawyer asks the person to come?

Ans: Wednesday

Approach:
Today=Saturday
Day after tomorrow=Monday
Day before day after tomorrow=Sunday
Three days after the day before the day after tomorrow=Wednesday

3) A person is 80 years old in 490 and only 70 years old in 500 in which year is he born?

Ans: 570 BC

Approach:
Since the age gets decreased with the years, the years should definitely be in BC and hence u should increment the years as u decrease the age. Therefore if he is 70 years old in 500BC, he would have born on 570 BC!!

4) A man enquires a person about the past 5 days temperatures at 12 noon in that region. The other replies that he doesn’t remember the actual figures but there was a different temperature on each day and that their product gives 12. Assuming the temperature to the nearest degree what are the temperatures on the five days?

Ans: -1,-2,1,2,3
Approach:
We know that the smallest two integers that can give a product of 12 is 3*4 which is spilt up as 2*2*3. But no temperature is the same…hence use -2 instead of 2. Now the product becomes -12. Choose the other temperatures such that value of the product does not change but only the sign changes. So naturally, the other two options are -1 and 1.

5) A cube is painted. It is cut into 27 cubes with three straight lines. Find the number of cubes with
a. 3 sides painted
b. 2 sides painted
c. 1 side painted
d. no painted sides

Ans: a. 8 (4 corner cubes + 4 corner cubes)
b. 12 (center cubes at each EDGE)
c. 6 (center cubes at each FACE)
d. 1 (cube at the center of the original cube)

Approach
Draw a cube (with front, top and side faces, dont draw the inner lines. that'll confuse) cut it into 27 cubes. thats done by drawing 3 horizontal and 3 vertical lines on the front face of the cube. extend those lines along the other two faces. then COUNT accordingly.

6) A person travels at a speed of 10 mph from one city to another. However while returning as there was not much traffic. He came with a speed of 15mph. what is his average speed?

Ans: 12 mph

Approach:
Let the distance be X
Distance/ Time=Speed
Time taken for forward journey=X/10
Time taken for return journey=X/15
Total time for to and fro journey T =[(X/10)+(X/15)]
Total distance covered D=2X
Hence, average speed= D/T = 12mph


7) There is a peculiar island where people speak a strange language called ‘Kubi’.The men always speak truth and a women never say two 2 consecutive truth or false statements, that is, if she says truth statement once then she says false statement next and vice versa. The boys and girls always lie. One day I asked a child “Are you a boy or girl ?" and the child replied in Kubi. Since I didn’t know the language, I asked the child’s parents what it means. One of the parents said “The child says,”I am a boy”” and the other said that "The child is a girl. He lied".
a) Is the child a boy or a girl
b) Which parent answered first?

Ans: The child is a girl and father answered first.

Approach:
Take the statement “The child is a girl. He lied". If ‘He lied’ is true, then the child is a girl is a false. Likewise, is ‘He lied’ is false, then the child is a girl is true => The second statement was given by the child’s mother and hence the father answered first.
Take the statement “The child says,”I am a boy”. Since the father always speak the truth, the child should have said that he was a boy. But then the child lies, so he cannot be a boy => the child was a girl. (Confused? Try reasoning it out yourself, u’ll understand the logic)

8) There is a couple and they have many children. 7 of them dont eat spinach. 5 ot them dont eat carrot. 6 of them dont eat beans. 4 of them dont eat either spinach or carrot. 2 of them eat neither spinach or beans and 3 of them eat neither carrot or beans. and 1 dont eat spinach, carrot or beans. How many children r there in total?

Ans: 9 children

Approach:
4 of them don’t eat spinach or carrot => 4 of them eat beans alone.
2 of them don’t eat spinach or beans => 2 of them eat carrots alone.
3 of then don’t eat carrot or beans =>3 of them eat spinach alone.
Total children=4+2+3=9
(If some other reasoning approach was chosen, the remaining three statements could be used. But this one is simple and I am sure that the answer is right. Try out the other approaches anyway)

9) There are three tribes in a village. The Sorobean always speaks the truth. The Narobean always lies and the Midorean speaks truth and false alternatively. From the following statements, find out who belongs to which tribe.

A: I am a Sorobean
B is a Narobean

B: I am a Sorobean
C is a Midorean

C: I am a Sorobean
A is a Midorean

Ans: A –Midorean, B-Narobean, C-Sorobean

Approach:
Simple ! Assume one as Sorobean and try to satisfy the conditions. All the above statement get satisfied only for the above answer. I think the statements that I have given are right…am sorry if its wrong but the answer to this puzzle in the Infy paper is the one that I have given above.

10) A flight is scheduled to depart at 12 midnight. A family arrived at the airport 10 hours late and missed the flight. If they had arrived 4 hours earlier, they would have reached the airport 2 hours earlier to the departure of the flight. (Something like that…not sure of the values). What is the present time ?

Ans: 4PM

Approach:

It takes 24 days for 70 cows and 60 days for 30 cows to eat the whole of the grass.
How many cows are needed to eat the grass in 96 days.?

Ans : 20
g - grass at the beginning
r - rate at which grass grows, per day
y - rate at which one cow eats grass, per day
n - no of cows to eat the grass in 96 days

17. What "hardware experience" do you have?
18. How would you prevent the well-publicized data thefts that have been reported in the media?
19. Do you have any experience with virtualizaion - VMware for example?
Q. Do you have any certifications?
A. I have HP-UX System Administration certification, and two Linux certifications: LPI (Linux
Professional Institute) and CompTIA Linux+. I found the HP certification test very appropriate; the
LPI tests had somewhat more poorly worded or even incorrect questions. The CompTIA test was a
beta, so I can't comment on the final version - it probably improved compared to the version I took.
I'd consider pursuing other certifications, but many certifications are too expensive to "stock" in the
hopes that some customer will require exactly that certification, and exactly that revision of that
certification. Particularly in the case of expiring certifications, by the time a customer requires it, it's
likely to have expired. Certifications don't necessarily come easily to me, because I have a horrible
memory for details, and most certification tests are detail-based. But that doesn't mean I don't
believe certifications are valuable. I think they're useful as a baseline, to say that somebody has
basic knowledge about a subject. They're easier to analyze than experience.
Q. What command and options on [specific vendor's] Unix would you use to do [some task]
A. Particularly if it's a vendor-specific administration command, I probably don't know, or more
precisely can't remember. I don't work with every flavor of Unix, Linux, and BSD every day, and
even if I did, my memory isn't that good. What I'm pretty good at using the available resources
(documentation, etc.) to figure out what command to use, but if you feel you need to hire someone
who already has memorized every command and option that's used in your environment, I'm not
that guy. Years ago, I was more familiar with a lot of the more obscure admin commands, but less
familiar (or concerned with) the business implications of technology. It's a tradeoff; the more
experiences you accumulate, to some extent the less you remember about each one, but hopefully
the more "rounded" you become. Maybe because I can't remember details as well as I wish I
could, I put an extra effort into documenting everything that I figure it out, and into automating tasks

whenever it's practical.
Q. Do you do Windows?
A. I have very limited knowledge of Windows compared to Unix, but I'm not opposed to Windows
or Microsoft. Of course I've had to work with Windows from time to time, and so I've managed to do
some tasks like installations and network configurations, and some minimal Unix-Windows
integration, such as with Samba. I know there are some very anti-Microsoft Unix people, and some
very anti-Unix Microsoft people, but I find many of them aren't recognizing how important both
operating systems have been to improving the overall availability of computing. I know enough
about Microsoft to know that some of its recent software has been a huge improvement over
previous versions. Today you can achieve many objectives with either Unix or Windows. If you're
an organization that has had only Windows and is only now thinking of adding Unix, I would
caution you against accepting the notion that Windows can't do what you need. You have to base
decisions on what Windows can do now, not on what it couldn't do a few years ago. Similarly, if
you are a Unix shop thinking you need Windows, I would carefully investigate some of the new
software for Unix and Linux before making a decision. As for software vendors who claim their
software only works "best" with one OS or another, vendors are lucky to have you as a customer,
and they need to make their applications work in your environment, not the other way around. I've
often seen today's "best supported environment" become a "legacy" environment literally overnight
and without warning. It's one of those things that's hard to believe will happen until it happens to
you. You do want to try to limit the number of platforms you support if possible, and always watch
for platform consolidation opportunities - even if you're the Unix guy, and Unix is what you have to
consolidate away. Consolidating is usually painful - some users can't do things exactly the way
they used to, some functionality goes away, and sometimes people lose their jobs. But you have to
look at the big picture, and you have to stay competitive.
Q. Can you help us manage exponential growth in requirements, especially storage?
A. It's probably a political problem that comes down to needing to say "no." In recent years there's
been a lack of focus on conserving storage space and efficiency in general, due to the dramatic
increase in processing power and reduction in per-byte storage costs. It's a double-edged sword in
IT. You're a service organization, so you are rewarded for giving your customers what they want.
But there has to be accountability, so the customers understand the real cost of what they're doing.
If users can simply can keep all the data they want and have all the processing power they want to
dig through it for free, well, that's what they're going to do, for better or worse. Chargeback is not
always a bad thing, but it's usually difficult to implement properly. Data is like possessions that
accumulate in your house; you have to constantly go through it looking for what you can throw out.
And every once in a while, you're going to toss something that later you wish you'd kept. The
advantage of having less total accumulation is, of course, that you can actually locate what items
you need among those you keep, and you don't need to buy a bigger house just for storage.
Obviously, some businesses have legal requirements that necessitate keeping data essentially
forever, and you have to comply with that. But in other cases, you have to be absolutely vicious in
purging data. I think I have somewhat of an advantage here, because I've had to periodically get
rid of personal "stuff" when moving. If somebody hasn't had that personal experience, where you're
absolutely forced to throw away things you know you might want later, (s)he is at a real
disadvantage in the IT business.
Q. What about Linux?
A. I started using Linux with the 0.99 kernel around 1993, and the progress it's made since then
has been amazing. When I first taught Linux-based classes in 1995, customers would scoff at
Linux and demand "real" Unix; now they think learning on Linux is at least as good as on a
commercial Unix. I've used Linux for 98% of all my personal and business computing for a number
of years, and I support it for customers. It's not quite ready to replace commercial Unix for
Paul's Technical Interview FAQ http://tibbitts.freeshell.org/interview/faq/tech.html

everything, but it's becoming increasingly capable - as is Windows. All major operating systems are
much better than they used to be, although we've had to accept a lot of "creeping featurism" along
the way. I seem to recall some well-known Unix personality once proclaiming V7 Unix to be "an
improvement upon all previous and subsequent versions." Getting back to the Linux situation, it's
an uphill battle to run a business, or even your personal computing on 100% Linux or Unix, but it's
possible and a good choice for some businesses. Linux is generally a better story for business
than for personal use: with business you have a somewhat restricted set of software and hardware
you need to support - or at least you'd like to. If you invest a week in getting some odd peripheral to
work - which would have worked out of the box with Windows - you can then deploy it to 5000
seats and divide the cost of that work 5000 times. If you use Linux at home, and spend that same
week getting something to work, the only person who benefits is you, so you can't spread the cost
over a larger user base. Of course if you want to be a good "open source" citizen, you'll pass along
your knowledge to others (as I try to do for my laptop computers on the Linux Laptops website, for
examle), but that won't pay the rent. Looking to the future, the Linux economic model has yet to be
proven long-term, and some formerly free Linux distributions are now adopting Microsoft-like
licensing fees. And the SCO lawsuit will probably hang over the landscape for a while, as did the
BSD litigation years ago, although it seems to be quietly fading away. But it's incredible how much
both Linux and the BSD variants have been able to accomplish. You just have to be careful and
not promise more than you can deliver, as some Linux zealots are prone to do.
Q. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a Unix administrator?
A. Being realistic, and maybe conservative, in making claims as to what I - and the Unix/Linux
environment - can and can't do, is probably a strength. At least that's what one of my former
customers once told me. He'd had several Unix administrators after me, probably every one
smarter than I was, but they all caused problems by promising more than they could reliably
deliever. Catering to every user's whim makes administrators popular, at least temporarily, but can
also cause administrators to build complicated, undocumented environments that only they can
maintain, and then only by working every waking hour. In one of my early jobs, I promised to
deliver something I couldn't, and I've tried to learn from that and not make the same mistake again.
That's cost me some business; certain competitors have told customers what they wanted to hear,
and taken business away from me based on that - and then have failed to deliver. Sometimes
those customers have even paid more for "maintenance" to fix things that should have been part of
the original product. It's frustrating, but often being right doesn't make you any money. As for
shortcomings, my main technical shortcoming is that I can't remember anything - so if I ever figure
something out and don't write it down, I'm lost. As a result, I put a lot of emphasis on
documentation and automation. In terms of specific experience that I lack, it's recent large-scale
clustering, SAN storage, resource partitioning, and virtualization. In the mid-90s, I was responsible
for some of the larger server configurations of that era, and configured failover, where we had
arrays with redundant paths to multiple hosts and multiple controllers on those hosts. But we were
just starting to share storage simultaneously on multiple hosts, and we didn't have switched fiber
channel SANs yet. So I haven't had much "hands-on" experience with FC SANs or hardware
resource partitioning, but I'm aware of the issues involved, and am pretty confident I could come up
to speed on any vendor's implementation. I've worked on plenty of recent systems with SANs, but I
haven't been directly responsible for the SAN administration, just for the system that utilized the
storage. I try to be very specific about the experience I have, and not claim to have done things I
haven't.
Q. How has the Unix administrator job changed over the years?
A. It's totally different now in most environments. In the old days, the job was much more about
technical tasks than it is today. There were no software vendors or 800-numbers or email support;
you were the system admin, network admin, applications support (luckily there weren't many
applications), and sometimes even developer. Now, it's less of a technical administration job.
Paul's Technical Interview FAQ http://tibbitts.freeshell.org/interview/faq/tech.html
4 of 8 7/22/2006 5:42 AM
You're more of a coordinator for a team of specialists, because each aspect of the system has
gotten more complicated, and frankly it's probably more important that the system works than in
the old days. So for example, where in the old days you might have tried experimenting with some
kernel modifications, today you might have a vendor support contract that would prohibit you from
even trying that. You used to work on the hardware in even the bigger Unix boxes, and frankly you
broke stuff sometimes because you were probably doing something for the first time, and didn't
have any experience. But you'd work that out with the vendor, who was getting a big enough
margin - and whose feet weren't being held to the fire with availability requirements. Today you're
more likely to just turn a hardware or software problem over to a specialist - who might break
something too, because everything has gotten so complicated, but it's an accountability issue now.
When I started, there was virtually no formal Unix training available, or even textbooks on system
administration; now you've got all kinds of resources, but you need them much more than you used
to. The internet is the biggest difference; there's just so much information there that sifting through
it and distilling out what's important has become an extremely valuable skill. The part of the job
that's the same is the "administration" component, and when I was a full-time administrator that
was probably a third to a half of the job. By that I mean doing things like working with vendors to
evaluate and purchase hardware and software, establish and maintain maintenance contracts, etc.
Another aspect of that was participating in meetings and representing my department or group in a
"political" sense. That's probably the part I miss most about being a full-time admin - sort of the the
social aspects of the job.
Q. What experience do you have with security?
A. Well, I've had a few of the Unix systems I've been responsible for broken into over the years, if
that counts. Just in the last few weeks, I've had twenty-eight thousand attempted logins on my own
system - and that wasn't just me mistyping my password! I try to follow what's going on with
security to some extent, and from an administrator's standpoint keeping up-to-date with patches is
an important task, along with testing to make sure your security patches don't break your
applications. My opinion on that has changed a lot over the years. It used to be that I was very
conservative about applying patches. Today, for a "general purpose" Unix, and especially Linux,
system, if the customer buys into it, I tend to patch immediately. By "general purpose", I mean
perhaps connected to the internet somewhat directly, and running a lot of different OS-provided
utilities. The problem is that so many patches get released these days, that if you don't apply them
as they come out, you have a lot more trouble figuring out what's broken when you do put them in.
But it's a tradeoff: if you're always patching, you're always breaking stuff. Now, if you have a
system that's well-protected from the internet, and running a very finite mix of applications, I might
suggest going the other way and just not patching at all or at least rarely. Especially if you're
already behind. You just break too much software by "catch-up" patching, and there's not a great
enough payoff if the security exposure is minimal to start with. Certainly, security is another area
that's become a specialty, and most businesses outsource it today to experts. The role the
administrator plays at that point is mediating between the security specialists, who want to shut off
everything because that's what's optimal for security, and the users, who want access to
everything. Obviously if you have a big enough organization you can do security in-house, but it
can't be some administrator's sideline; it's a full-time task, probably for a number of people.
Regardless if you do it in house or not, you need some kind of independent outside auditor.
Q. What is your preferred Unix flavor?
A. I started working primarily with v7 Unix, and then BSD, on DEC hardware, then moved on to
SunOS on Sun and Sparc clones, then alternated between DG and IBM and Sun and HP, dabbled
with Compaq/DEC Unix and SCO, and lately have worked mostly with Linux. I've taught for HP
Education since the early 90's, and they've provided me with a lot of business, so I'm more familiar
with recent releases of HP-UX than the other commercial Unix variants. But I've found something
to like about most of the Unix versions I've worked with. In the commercial space I guess my
Paul's Technical Interview FAQ http://tibbitts.freeshell.org/interview/faq/tech.html
5 of 8 7/22/2006 5:42 AM
favorite would have been the old SunOS 4.x, if they hadn't left the whole resolver situation in such
a mess. Of course it lacked a lot of modern features, but it was kind of elegant, and I liked that.
SCO Unix always irritated me, for reasons I can't really remember. Now SCO irritates me for their
IP lawsuits, of course, but in fairness I can't comment on any of their very recent software.
Q. You claim to run your business "almost exclusively" on Unix and Linux; why "almost"?
A. The "almost" means I use Windows for a few applications: scanning, and printing Powerpoint
documents, for example. The peripherals I have were selected for cheapness and not Linux
compatibility, and I use the scanning capabilities so seldom that it's just not practical for me to
waste time trying to make those peripherals run with Linux. Now, if I was running an office with a
hundred people and could spread the investment in time and effort to (maybe) get those
peripherals running under Linux across a hundred people, then it might be worthwhile. Regarding
business applications, at some point I may need to migrate off my homegrown Linux/Perl
accounting software, but I'm still hanging in there. This year for the first time I used web-based tax
preparation software, and it only worked with IE, so I did that on Windows. Mabye I could have
used some other browser on Linux to masquerade as XP/IE, but it just wasn't worth the effort and
wouldn't have been supported. OpenOffice has improved to the point where it sometimes produces
a good enough rendering of most MS document formats, except when you need an identical match
to something already done on Office. You just can't get that yet from OpenOffice, at least not
without fiddling with fonts. There are a variety of solutions that let you run Windows applications
with Linux, but it's just not worth the trouble for something I might need a couple of times a year.
For businesses, the challenge to running an office environment on Unix or Linux is that when
organizations went from whatever office software they had before PCs (it seems like most
managers can't even remember back that far) to MS Office, the move was entirely user-driven.
Moving away from Office would be almost entirely management-driven, and frankly unpopular with
users, even if it was the right thing to do for the business. Sometimes you have to do the right thing
for the business - and sometimes you get fired for it.
Q. What have you found is the most frustrating Unix admin task?
A. Fixing license manager problems. Nothing is more of a waste because you are having to put
effort into just being able to run software you have paid for. This is a great example of where if you
are having problems, the solution may be non-technical. Software vendors are going to tell you you
have to run their license manager. You have the option of telling them that if they want to sell you
the software, they're going to have to sell it without a license manager. I know of customers who
have done that successfully, and they aren't necessarily the highest volume customers either, yet
other customers won't even consider that as a possibility. Now, I'm probably not the person to do
that, because I'm horrible at negotiating. Nobody has ever cared if I just walked away from a deal. I
guess I need to attend one of those "successful negotiating" seminars.
Q. What Unix do you use in your own business?
A. I run Linux on my laptop computers, because it's best at supporting laptop hardware. I recently
(2006) decommissioned by Pentium 1/133 desktop and Sun Sparcstation 1+, replacing them with
several new-to-me Pentium II/400 PCs. One is my "production" server, one is for Unix (Solaris),
one for Linux development or BSD or whatever I need to experiment with, and one is for parts. I
have 256kbit "broadband", down from 4mbit two years ago, to save money. I mention that because
it's important for people to know that sometimes they have to accept less than what they've had,
and some people have a real problem with that. For when I need XP, or more precisely some
software that only runs on it, I have an XP desktop computer, another 400mhz model. I use a old
17-inch crt for all the desktops, on a kmv switch. Half of my work the past 5 years has been on one
of my two Toshiba laptops, a 266mhz Pentium I, and a 380mhz AMD K2, and at the end of 2005 I
bought a used Pentium III laptop with 14-inch screen - my first active matrix display. My website is
on freeshell.org, which runs NetBSD on Alpha hardware. For networking I use a Netgear wireless

router and an assortment of Netgear and Enterasys 802.11b cards, 3Com PCMCIA cards, and
various switches, hubs and controllers. I still have the HP Laserjet4M I bought in 1993 for the
then(and still now)-hefty price of $2037, and I print to it using a $20 JetDirect card I bought at a
sidewalk sale. I finally changed the toner cartridge this year, after about 5 years on the old one.
Q. How do you keep current technically?
A. I should have some clever answer, but honestly you can only keep relatively current. There is
just too much to know about Unix now. When I started with Unix and just a few thousand sites
were running it, mostly with the same hardware and software, you could kind of keep up with what
everybody else was doing. The main method of communication was Usenet, and when you read
the unix-wizards newsgroup and maybe a couple of others you pretty much knew what was going
on. Unix is just too big now, so you try to subscribe to some industry newsletters and check some
Unix web sites periodically. Even if you learn something new each day, you just fall farther behind,
but the same thing happens with any technology today. You just have to accept that there's a lot
you're not going to know. I have tried to take advantage of auditing classes, which I'm thankful to
HP and Global Knowledge for allowing me to do from time to time, and experimenting on my own.
Q. What do you know about SANs and NAS?
A. I haven't worked with either one directly. By that I mean, I haven't been directly responsible for
administering SANs, I've just done administration on systems that use them. In my Clariion days,
when I was administering them, arrays were SCSI-attached. We'd lay out the LUNs much like
today with Fiber Channel, selecting the desired RAD (add the "I" if you're inclined) levels, perhaps
taking into account the internal bus and drive configuration more than you might have to with a
newer product. NAS is becoming more competitive in the Unix market, due to the improvements in
network technology. What you can do with NAS can be limited by your applications; only fairly
recently have some of the more demanding products, like databases, supported NAS. The appeal
of NAS is the relatively standardized protocols; with SANs I've experienced more compatibility
issues between the OS revision, the controllers and their firmware, the FC switches, and the
firmware in the SAN itself. It seems to be more of an integration challenge. On the other than, NAS
performance seems to vary more, in that it seems to be more sensitive to tuning parameters on the
client and server.
Q. How do you feel about working with vendor technical support?
A. First, you have to understand that some of the customers I've worked with haven't subscribed to
hardware or software technical support. When you have a problem, it's a major financial hit if you
can't figure it out yourself. These aren't mom-and-pop companies, they're some of the biggest and
best-known companies. It's a business decision and you can debate it both ways. But if you do
have support, as an administrator you have an obligation to get the most benefit you can out of
that support. Some administrators I've known work too hard to solve problems themselves before
calling support. It's true that you might learn more that way, but you have to ask yourself whether
that's the most efficient way to solve the problem. If it isn't, you should get the outside help that
you're paying for. Now, another issue is the whole vendor vs. VAR situation. Some customers have
to go through VARs for both sales and support, and those rules have a way of changing constantly
every time the vendors change their channel partner programs, which seems to be monthly. I think
there can be an important role for VARs where they can truly add value, like providing a turnkey
solution. But if all they're doing is serving as middlemen, which is sometimes the case, I think the
vendors need to work directly with customers, because frankly there often isn't enough margin for
both vendors and VARs to earn a profit.
Q. Have you done any cabling?
A. I run hundreds of serial cables through (raised computer-room) floors, over ceilings, etc. And
I've terminated soldered thousands of connector pins, although I'm horrible at soldering (you would
Paul's Technical Interview FAQ http://tibbitts.freeshell.org/interview/faq/tech.html
7 of 8 7/22/2006 5:42 AM
have thought I would have gotten better with all that practice, but not really.) I've even run and
soldered connections for AC wiring, including 3-phase circuits. Back on the low voltage side, I
haven't done a lot of modular wiring, and don't even own my own crimping tool; I almost bought a
pretty nice one five years ago, but missed the 50% off sale by one day, and I've been waiting all
these years for another 50% off sale. I break modular connectors frequently, so you'd think it would
be cheaper to crimp replacement connectors, but when you can buy new complete cables for $2,
the relative cost of new cables isn't that much compared to the (low volume) connector cost. I do of
course crimp other connectors, like ring terminals for power supplies, but I usually wind up
soldering them and covering the crimp with heat-shrink tubing after crimping, just because it seems
like the right thing to do.
Q. What "hardware experience" do you have?
A. This is typically a question people ask in an attempt to determine if I'm "hands on." But the
answer is actually quite complicated, because "hardware" has changed over the years. It used to
be that you could work with vendors to do things like board or power supply swaps on "enterprise
class" systems, and it helped to do that because we didn't have redundant components like we
have today. In fact, it was kind of challenging because the components weren't designed to be
swappable by "amateurs", so you had to deal with a bunch of switches and power supplies, firware
revs, etc. Of course, even back in those days, your service contracts prohibited you from working
on systems, but you worked it out with the vendor. In fact, it clearly benefitted a system
administrator to have a close working relationship with the vendors' hardware techs. Today, it's just
a different world where everybody does what their specialty is, and basically just does what they're
contracted for. Sure, maybe you stick a new hot-swappable disk into your SAN, but I don't count
that as hardware. So the point is, I don't think it matters whether I "do hardware." Having said that,
in most places I've worked I've been the "hardware guy", in that I'd do "PM"s (cleaning, checking
fans, cable integrity, power supply voltages, etc.), and, back when it was appropiate, I'd play
hardware integrator. So for example when 2.5gB disk drives were first introduced, I got servers
using them before they were supported by vendors, by figuring out what controller and firmware
upgrades were required. Those drives had optional diagnostic "front panels" that could run off-line
diagnostics, and I was the guy who'd always get called to go out and check a suspect drive. I've
done a lot of troubleshooting by swapping parts (memory, controllers, peripherals, power supplies.)
And I've installed a lot of new equipment. I've built rack mounts for peripherals that weren't
intended for them, I've run 3-phase ciruits to racks when it was needed and we couldn't get them
through "official" channels, and I've fabricated power supply cables that didn't quite reach where
they needed to. But that's partly my point. Do you really want someone other than a licensed
electrician running 3-phase circuits in your building? Do you really want to run unsupported
hardware? Like I said, hardware isn't what it used to be.
Q. How would you prevent the well-publicized data thefts that have been reported in the media?
A. Honestly I don't know how some of this stuff happens on the scale it does. By that I specifically
mean these laptop thefts. I guess because I'm so old, I just can't conceive of any reason to keep
millions of employee records on a laptop. A hundred maybe, if you're a developer and you're
writing code to analyze them, and you're too lazy to make up a hundred simulated records. But why
would you want millions? I just don't understand the need. If I'm an analyst and not a developer,
well, I've got my broadband card in my laptop and I'm going to use it to play with those records on
something with some horsepower (and security), where I don't have to have some out-of-date copy
sitting on a pokey single spindle. Now if somebody steals my laptop and my passwords and my
other vpn credentials etc. I guess that's a problem, but to me that's a lot harder than just physically
stealing the laptop. The last time I was directly in charge of personal data for anybody but myself
was nearly twenty years ago, the issue just wasn't what it is today, so honestly I didn't guard that
information the way I should have - or hopefully would today. With regard to my own business
records, I do encrypt some items like my master password list and my lists of account numbers, so
Paul's Technical Interview FAQ http://tibbitts.freeshell.org/interview/faq/tech.html
8 of 8 7/22/2006 5:42 AM
I think they're protected from at least casual theft. I don't encrypt my phonebook or expense
accounting or perhaps some other data that would be considered "personal", but not financially
valuable. Being that some of this data is internet-accessible, I try to keep up-to-date on patches,
and occasionally monitor cracking attempts (twenty-eight thousand in the past few months.)
Q. Do you have any experience with virtualizaion - VMware for example?
No. I haven't used it or Xen or similar software in the Linux environments where I've worked, and I
haven't even experimented with it on my own. The value of virtualization on a 400mhz Pentium II
with 384mb of RAM seems... limited. Having had absolutely no experience with it, I have an
opinion nonetheless. So far, the production environments I've worked in have, frequently enough,
made use of 100% of each physical computer, such that I don't think virtualization would have
been a big win. That's not to say that you couldn't have a test machine with several virtual
machines running on it, but the value would limited because if you are truly testing for a production
environment that won't be virtual, you can't completely rely on your results. You could have issues
that would or wouldn't arise in production. Now, you can speculate that if you buy servers that are
more powerful, etc. etc. then yes you can make an argument for it. But working against that is how
remarkably cheaper physical servers have become. Yes, utility consumption may be more of an
issue with more physical servers, but I'm saying that you need to look at the effects on fault
tolerance and complexity very carefully.
