My personal theory on this is, the typical type of troubleshooting skills that a good sysadmin has, simply cannot be taught. It has to do with your personality, how you were raised, your inquisitive nature, your willingness to take risks, and so on.
The *technical* tidbits, yes, can be taught ("ok, here's how you boot a *nix system into single user mode to begin a rescue..."), but the above-mentioned investigative skills? You either got it, or you don't. (My $0.02...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kent C.
