What is interesting two of my collegues who did this exam recently had the same problem - 0% on USB restrictions. They were confused about it because they didn't think they made a mistake.

I do plan to take this exam in upcoming days; I do start to wonder.

Just read the instructions carefully and try to do what you are asked to do. Good luck!

Well, this is my first "no pass" in my exam path. It's been some time since I finished university, I almost forgot that feeling of not passing exam.

What made me a bit worried is this 0% on USB devices. I really wonder if all of my collegues and I are missing something fundamental there. I tested it 3x, reboot included, that it does do what the task says.

Well, I cleared ex415v92 today. I don't get what other magic is needed for USBguard to be done. I re-read it so many times, system behaved as it was described. But still, 0%.

[radzewi]

It can be done, but it's a bit tricky. From what I remember, almost every RH exam has tricky questions that seem very simple, but don't necessarily have to be...Anyway, congratulations!

[martindxc]

Thanks! You're right, I noticed this on other exams too - some do have a bit of a twist.

I did two small mistakes last time, I didn't make them today. But I was a bit sad that on two sections (PAM/SELinux) I didn't get 100% even though I did what had to be done and I tested it - it worked as it should be. I actually did post here about PAM lab which I think doesn't do a good job of showing how to use authselect.

In the end it doesn't matter, pass is a pass.
