Can you point to more such things?
I emailed my public key and got no response. I suppose this is the listserver equivalent of the asshole recruiter who doesn't acknowledge applicants.

Your public key?
That was not what was asked for.

Want to see what's in it?
I'm assuming they want to pop up a login terminal on *my* system.

Re: Patience, grasshopper.
I have sshd running but firewalled. Are they in fact trying to pop up a login terminal without further notice?

I got the impression
I got the impression that they will have people take the tests via a ssh session hosted by them and want your public key so they'll know it's really you logging in and taking the test.

That isn't how ssh works
With the ssh public key, people can prove that you're you. That's all. They can use it to give you (and only you) a remote login on their system. To pretend to be you, someone needs your private key. Which is why it is private.
The fact that they are smart enough to not ask for passwords indicates that they have some brains already.
Cheers,
Ben

Re: Response finally showed up
I'll keep a record of what happens.
The key is used for your password. altmann was right.
There are 8 stages. It's "Code-Hard with a Vengeance". If there aren't enough dead bodies at the end, more stages will be appended.
Off we go.

Stage 2 complete
Task #2: Install a current version of Apache on the FreeBSD host
above. Make a static HTML test page available at

I downloaded 1.3.29. The host is FreeBSD.
Does the link work? Looks like

Still the default page from here.
Unless you INTENDED test1.html to be the default page, which is probably not a good idea.
Keep at it.

They wanted a static page. I assume Stage 3 will start altering it into something useful. No email yet. This is like a spy movie.

Don't assume
If I told you to install a web site and setup a static page I would not accept this particluar page. This is the one that says you are not done yet.
Just modify it to say "Done, What would you like next?"

?
The problem was to install Apache and put a simple page at test1. How hard to understand is that? When they check my 7 minutes of login time for the console transcript they will so "Ok that was a minimum of keystrokes".
The funny this is, I certainly could have put up any page I wanted, including a gigantic pic of JJ's boob. The activity is in a chrooted box with rooty access.
Still waiting for the next email.

Maybe not at all.
Maybe a huge amount.
Why take chances?
The web page states the install is not done.
Make it done.
I'd post my resume on it.

test inside the test
initiative. do you have it? I'm betting there's more to this test than what the words in the assignment say. You were asked to put up a web page. I take that to mean a web page you put together. Not someone else's page. I kinda like Barry's resume idea. But since they explicitly said up front they didn't want resumes sent to them, I'd hold off until asked. For you, something from an unusual perspective, maybe a picture of earthrise over the moon, and some text on what you thought of the test so far. Fancy it up. You're trying to impress these people.
Have fun,

I thought of it exactly opposite
Don't you think I thought of doing something clever? I mean, it takes 2 minutes to download Apache and 3 minutes to install it and 5 seconds to start. The purpose of this step is to see if a person is familiar with "cron world". My attitude is - do exactly as told. This is no place for showing off. I think these people are serious. But, we'll see.
This is the way you should hire people, I know that.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
