PS: The requirements have recently changed (December 8, 2014):
- the Configuring SSH-based remote access using public/private key pairs requirement has been removed,
- the Network administration and Network filesystems and file services paragraphs have been added to certainly stick to the RHCE 7 curriculum and make the exam harder to pass.
