Bahahahah, how typical. A Unix SA calling someone not familiar with Unix an idiot. I think they teach that in a secret Unix class.
Our Unix SAs thought the COO of the <insert exchange name> was an idiot because he could not understand some security stuff. 
Their world is very small. You are either in it or you are an idiot 
Easy killer. Too many big words there. If he is writing test scripts on windows it does not mean he knows anything about unix. You both sound entry level anyway 
i feel sorry for anyone who has to work with someone who is in the same field yet does not have the necessary basic knowledge to peform their jobs.
i don't think you quite understand the enormity of how stupid this guy is, he's writing peoplesoft report scripts, very detailed stuff that requires a level of understanding beyond undergrad college level.
has nothing to do with unix or windows exactly, windows data path is something like c:\profiles\users\user name\my documents...in unix just dump the c: off that data path and it's the same thing. it's assumed that a person who has to write data paths into highly complex scripts all day would understand it, this guy needs pictures and someone to write it out for him.
and to top it all off, he thought his access rights that were granted 3 years ago on network directories he needs access for his job were
changed because he no longer had the mapped drives he created on his system...
he got a new computer on his desk at the end of last month...that was the only change.
fyi, my noob days as desktop support, novell admin, network admin and unix systems admin...ended 19 years ago...just so you don't have to put more salt on your foot before inserting it.
