[CLUE-Cert] Error in the material and one of the questions

One of the practice questions for chapter 1looks like it has
an error: #13. It refers to /proc/sys/kernel/file-max, and
I don't have that in either RH v6.1 or Debian (v?)...does anyone
else see file-max in that dir? I instead see it in:
/proc/sys/fs/. I would think that this would not be something
distro-related, in any case.

On page 34, they talk about this, and again, I only have the
files (file-max and inode-max) in /proc/sys/fs...and the HOWTO
they refer to doesn't seem to apply directly to the topic at hand.

When I searched groups.google.com for /proc and file-max,
all hits I looked at mention only /proc/sys/fs...maybe this
is just an oversight on the author's part.

I see they have an errata
page set up for the books. Unfortunately, it's not very
well organized and many of the submissions are spelling
and grammar-related:

http://www.linuxcertification.com/resources/errata/

If we had collected and submitted all the ones we saw in the
installation and config book, the list here would probably be twice
as long!
