Title: Request: A tool for training new sys admins and managing old ones

Abstract

It seems that one of the greatest problems facing senior system administrators today is how to train new system administrators. There never seems to be enough time in a day to get done what needed to be done last week, let alone find extra time to an a new sys admin. And if you were actually willing to give up some time to train, how would you go about doing it Do you start with adding users or adding hosts This paper will not only define an effective way to train new system administrators, but also show a practical way to manage tasks, users and administrators through the use of a simple tool called request.
