My bad, my bad....
Last week I was doing some testing & I set a port forward on port 22 to this host.
Ooops, I forgot to remove the rule.

This is why I only allow RSA key based authentication. No root login, no password login. Disable all other methods.

I have lost good contacts to this when I didnt realize that active sync didnt disable the local contacts. Assuming thats what was going on above.

My updated Outlook app keeps freezing up when I search for contacts, but I am using G Suite and Gmail in it, so maybe that makes the difference.

they didn't sync to icloud?

I don’t sync to iCloud anymore

oh, well... 😉

Two domains shouldn't be an issue. If both domains are added to o365, you can powershell the addition of aliases to the users mailboxes. o365 can accept email to either domain.

e is no reason that a wiki that is secured properly is not valid for something like this.

How does that look like in a wiki?

User ACLs and securying the platform.

That's totally understandable, and I know where we are going on this.

It would also be possible to break down the files with WinSCP and transfer them with FileZilla.

Get WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php - "WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client and SCP client for Windows."

Add a Custom Command:
Code: rar a -r -m0 -v20m "!.rar" "!"
'Remote Command', 'Apply to Directories'... Add the Custom Commands toolbar.
This command will use Rar (install it on your server) to spit the file(s)/directory into 20mb numbered rar files using no compression, therefore very quickly. If you multi-select files, they'll each have their own multi-part rar file, nice.

We will still use Filezilla for transferring the files, using Simultaneous Transfers 😉 as it's by far the nicest/best working FTP client out there (even despite this missing, much needed functionality).

So now the every-day steps are:

Start WinSCP Log in to the server Browse to the file(s) Select them Click on the custom command's toolbar button ... it then gets to work processing (seconds or a minute perhaps)... Start Filesilla Log in to the server
8 ) Browse to the file(s) and the multi-part rars Select the rars Download them to the local machine ... watching the simultaneous transfers chomping thru the data! Unrar the local rar files when completed Delete the rar files from the remote server using WinSCP as it does it quicker.

Finished.

did this work @scottalanmiller?

Boom, that did it!

Thanks @dbeato

Awesomeness !

Righyt, and eventually whoever is upgrading the T1 to the 2.5Mbps service will come in with a Cisco router that has a fiber card and ethernet card in it. and that will be the handoff.

Does Samba / Azure AD Sync allow you to Sync back passwords (and/or accounts) from O365 (to Samba)? I've never looked into that.

Never tried, but should, as it is just AD. It shouldn't be able to tell that it isn't Windows.

Well - that depends, does the sync client have to run on a Windows AD server? If not, then you probably can sync a Samba solution to Azure AD.

You can run it on any Windows server, but the problem with Samba is the password hash doesn't get sync to Azure.

That thread is kinda old - I wonder if 4.5 fixed that?

Starting from another thread....

If you are used to dealing with commands like mail from the mailx package, you may be used to apps that require a local MTA in order to send emails. In the config files of dnf-automatic however, we can instantly see that there is configuration for entering a non-local server. This means that dnf-automatic is implementing the SMTP protocol (SMTP) itself and is not dropping files in a queue.

[email] # The address to send email messages from. email_from = [email protected] # List of addresses to send messages to. email_to = root # Name of the host to connect to to send email messages. email_host = localhost

Because of this, we know that dnf-automatic is acting as an SMTP server on its own and must be configured for how your network is going to handle email and is not just relying on the default configuration of the system MTA.

No, this is jsut droping a mail to root. not email.

Wouldn't be better to say it's an SMTP client? Akin to Thunderbird?

But in this case it's not doing that, so would be confusing. Thunderbird is an SMTP client, but doesn't do the local drop piece.

What's not doing what? dnf-automatic isn't doing a local drop piece either. It uses SMTP to drop to localhost, not whatever mailx is doing to function.
So in that regard, it should be exactly like what Thunderbird is doing, no?

I don't believe that that is true, but maybe it is.

Well we know dnf-automatic will deliver to postfix on another host assuming that host is configured to allow relay from the dnf host. Am I missing something?

Does dnf-automatic not do both, though?

I don't know if dnf-automatic is doing the local drop piece like mailx does.

@scottalanmiller said in Swap File location:

They do it for performance reasons in systems where they screwed up other performance tuning like having enough RAM.

So if the system is built to a proper spec, then there is no reason to complicate the build? We have more than enough resources, but every system is built with 2-3 logical drives regardless.

Correct, we would rarely do this. That's just a mess if you don't need it to deal with another shortcoming.

Yep, setting protected-mode to no did the trick. SELinux was re-enabled and stuff works.

Now the question is can I get stuff to work with the most current version of Redis and on Fedora. 🙂

The iOS app seems very limited. I can't even find a way to change screens... Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Step by Step is a great place to get started, but is really meant for newcomers to the products. Great if you are, but if you are looking for MOUS level stuff, it'll be pretty lean.

Nope still the same.
