Senior Linux Administrator Interview Questions
77 senior linux administrator interview questions shared by candidates
Basic knowledge and background questions. It wasn't a "How would you solve this problem" type thing, more of a "What kind of experience do you have with XYZ..." Having read my resume, they knew I had been doing this work for a very long time, so didn't waste my time with a lot of very basic unix-type questions. Instead, for the things I didn't already have experience with, they asked if I would be willing to learn - which, of course, I was more than happy to do. Like most people in this industry, I always like learning new technologies.
Questions on the first step were in depth and reasonable for a Senior Linux admin. The entire linux LAMP stack is covered. Most difficult for me was: Q: What directives should be placed in an .htaccess file to allow access only to users coming from network 203.0.113.0/24 OR those users who can authenticate themselves using the username of “bob” and a password of “pass12word75”. Be as specific as possible, including what modules are required for your solution to work. If any other files are required for your, list the name and contents of those files as well. A:
Tell me about the work you have been doing and justify

Hint: They use mdadm so if you use other types of RAID, they wouldn't appreciate it. What are the types of RAID? Hint: review on the basics of RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, RAID1+0 and be ready to give examples of what applications can be used for each type of RAID.
