Howdy all.  Long time lurker, first time caller.

I think there's an important point in the heart of what Piotr (Rybicki)
was saying.  Perhaps we don't need to go so far as to test whether BSD
admins know about a variety of system calls, but it may be worthwhile to
test at a slightly higher level.  That is, questions that answer:

* What ARE system calls?
* What system calls might relate to I/O operations?
* What happens when a process forks? (What system call is involved? duh)
* What system calls might relate to file descriptors?
* What's the difference between and fork and an exec?
* What system calls are involved in network operations?
* How are semaphores used in interprocess communication?
* What is a context switch?

Basically, you'd be trying to see if the administrator could wrap their
hands around ktrace and use it effectively.  There's also a better
chance that the administrator will understand what he or she is looking
at under top, iostat, sockstat, netstat, etc.

There's a bunch of entry-level and 2nd year university C stuff here, and
it may not be very BSD specific either.  Perhaps questions about ktrace
itself may be more effective.
