I'd go through questions on routing and what not, then at the end I would ask questions like, "Who was Jon Postel? Who is Larry Wall? Who is Paul Vixie? What are layers 8 & 9? Explain the RTFM protocol. What is NANOG?" Those answers (or long silences) told me more about the candidate than most of the technical questions. --------------------------------------------------- Now that's a good interview question series. It shows that the person cares, rather than just doing a job. scott ps. I never thought of RTFM as a protocol, but I like it. It's a protocol between engineers. The conservative in what you send part... :-)
