Not to sound to naive and sorry if this is a stupid question but...
The RHCE break rpm that is mentioned here, what is it?
Is it meant for study material from RedHat or is it a stolen instructor RPM?
I am not passing any judgement here, I just choose to not use it if it is.
Can someone please comment on this so I know whether to use it or not?

Rep:
At the request of Red Hat Global Learning Services, I have removed all links in this thread. The materials are not for public distribution, and therefore are not acceptable at LQ. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me.
hello everyone,
i think it is a late reply but i am also teaching RHCE and the way these instruction were given it can actually render the system unbootable, and many such problems can arise out of it, so i request the moderator to kindly remove this whole thread in good faith for all people (coz they if got name can try on net and might get them (but then will be in much trouble)).

Having taken a fast track (RH301). I now know that these rpms where surely stolen.
I do not agree as it is unfair to those who pay for the fast track, and unfair to RedHat who devellops them. Moreover it is illegal.
They all create the same faults and are very similar to those we had on review sessions. If you are taking the fast track you don't need them. You will be given enough instructions to build a lab and run a richer set of troubleshooting faults with the help of a partner.
Logicalfuzz, this was not a free ressource, this was a stolen one.
But I think it would be a good idea to devellop a set of rpms (or debs for that matter) that would screw up machines and help build troubleshooting skills: nice idea for a project.

Yeah... i realized this recently when i gave my RHCE exam.. Guys..pls dont ask for it anymore.. Now we know this is illegal and that this should not be circulated.

I think i read in some thread on LQ about a similar project in sourceforge. Now, when i tried to find it, i could not find the thread as well as the proj on sourceforge. If somebody knows it, pls post it here.
As I understand it, since it's a training tool which was not designed with any input from Red Hat, it's a fully legal and legit way to prep for the troubleshooting part of the RHCE/RHCT exams.
Remember, when you run it, don't do it on a production computer! If you can't fix what troublemaker breaks, you're out of luck.
