  • I used awk to migrate users from one system to another. I created template scripts for setting up the user in the new system, I dumped the data from the old system, then used awk to process the dump and create scripts for each user in the new system. That was a fun project.






  • Yes that’s the right way to block root login. An added filter you can use the ‘match’ config expression to filter logins even further.

    If you’re on the open network, your connection will be heavily hit with login attempts. That is normal. But using another service like Fail2Ban will stop repeated hits to your host.

    Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections. Btw: I wasn’t thinking clearly here. Out going connections won’t be using port 22, but the listening incoming port is always 22.








  • Yes those problems do exist, and considering the conservatives position on these matters, we have work to do.

    But I’m happy with our immigration policies, improvements are needed for sure.

    I think racism is an issue, and there are many great examples of how as a country we rise above it.

    Lack of compassion is a significant problem for sure, the drug addled population are losing the fight against addiction.
    The indigenous nations have been treated poorly for sure. That is our nations shame.

    But I believe passionately that being a woman, minority, or a transgendered person, Canada is the safest country and there are plenty of opportunities to thrive. And that goes for the rest of us cis-gendered, anglo-caucasians as well.
