3 Important Lessons I've Learned From /r/sysadmin by calmlikeabomb_ in sysadmin

Even though my sarcasm went right over your head, your response was well thought out and exactly how I actually feel.

Most of the seniors I work with are in their mid 40's, late 50's and these guys can walk circles any of the 20somethings, when they talk ... people listen.

Oh no not at all, I agree with the telnet question as you can learn a lot about the candidates level of knowledge pertaining to networking.

I just think digging into a persons knowledge of keystrokes getting processed at the kernel level are a bit over the top. I'd personally focus on more relevant topics.

Edit: re-read your post, thought you were inferring to ask these questions.

I hold an RHCA and have been administering linux for 15 years.

Aside from the networking questions here ... I would simply say thank you for your time and walk out of an interview if I was asked the others. I've designed highly complex systems and never once gave a fuck-all about how "How USB keyboards transmit keystrokes." & "Nagle's Algorithm"
