Someone can be a sysadmin, and not be a programmer. While the skill
sets overlap, they're not necessarily one and the same. Perhaps he
meant user as in consumer? -Don
I assumed that's what he meant, personally.
OT: While it's not necessary to be an expert programmer to be a system
administrator, you'll end up doing a lot of extra work if you don't have at
least some minimal programming skills. One of the joys of UNIX system
administration is being able to write scripts to automate repetitive tasks.
Yeah, kind of.
System administrators usually manage to use google for problems they are faced
with.
Basically it's the following skill: knowing /where/ to search for possible
answers.
(rules du jour, ect, ect would probably be an answer/solution for the OP)
The OP demonstrated he lacked this skill, so he should contact his systems
administrator.
