@Ranchonyx Thanks, this seems interesting ! I'll look into it.
@stop I'm using Fedora, that's why I have SELinux. I'll try to find resources on my own anyway, but I was wondering if the community had some to recommend. Will be looking at Redhat docs, thanks. -
Active Directory, so a bit of Windows too. Depending on what you do with it, you may see why Windows got so popular in enterprises (I do say this not ironically).
Depending if you do Windows/Linux interoperability, you might read upnabout sssd (daemon allowing logging in with Windows accounts on Linux) or even samba (doing the same + more like windows compatible fileshares).
Obviously read on the Windows part itself as well, as operating it itself can be... annoying some times. Nowadays you can automate a lot of things with Powershell. -
@sbiewald Yep, at least a bit of Windows.
I do know about samba, I even configured a Linux server with it some time ago. I don't remember that task fondly. But I didn't know about sssd, I'll have to look into it, thanks.
I'll definitely use a lot of Powershell, as my tutor is the kind of guy who uses CLIs more than GUIs for administrative tasks. -
@pipe correct configured SSSD is a powerful tool. Users, groups, sudo, ssh publickeys, automounts and even secrets can be looked up.

Too true, too true...
A sys admin in his natural environment.
Next week I'm beginning a paid intership in an sysadmin/infrastructure manager/bit of devops position. My tutor already told me he would give me things to learn alone so we could work together on stuff, and I can't wait for it to begin.
However, in the meantime I don't have a lot of things to do, so I would like to put this downtime to use and start reading stuff.
I already know I'll be doing a lot of Linux (that, I already master pretty well), and also some Active Directory, Kubernetes, and a bit of DevOps. Those are the main keywords he throwed at me during the interview.
What subject would you advice me to start learning in advance ? Do you have nice resources/books/videos on those matters ?
I would have asked to my tutor but right now he's on holidays and I don't intend to piss him off with job related questions.
On a side note : do you have any good and complete documentation or learning resource about SELinux ? I've had issues with it on my main rig for some months and can't find any good answer so I decided to learn it as best as I can and come up with an answer on my own. Since I intend to work in the field, I should what there's to know about it anyway.
