From a Linux Desktop, you can browse multiple protocols without additional applications. I personally use FileZilla Client but I've also use WinSCP too.

From a Nautilus File Manager:

Tested on Fedora 31 with PowerShell Version: 6.2.3 and Windows 10 1909 and Windows Server 2012 R2

Normally you would type the following in Windows and you all good.
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName dns-or-ip -Credential username

But that doesn't work with Fedora. You'll end up getting a MI_RESULT_ACCESS_DENIED error message.

Enter-PSSession : MI_RESULT_ACCESS_DENIED

The solution is to use -Authentication Negotiate
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName dns-or-ip -Authentication Negotiate -Credential username

But wait, you thought that was it, now you'll see a Unspecified GSS failure error message.

Enter-PSSession: Connecting to remote server <dns-or-ip> failed with the following error message : acquiring creds with username only failed Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information SPNEGO cannot find mechanisms to negotiate For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

The solution is to install gssntlmssp package.
sudo dnf install gssntlmssp

After all of that, now can remote powershell into your Windows hosts.
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName dns-or-ip -Authentication Negotiate -Credential username

Accessing Proxmox behind a Nginx Reverse Proxy works pretty well.

Having the option to use Time-base OTP and YubiKey OTP is awesome.

@Pete-S said in sftp without ssh shell access?:

Thanks guys.

To summarize the link above, it's these lines in sshd_config that does the magic.

Match User sftpuser
     ForceCommand internal-sftp
     <snip>

The first line will tell sshd what user(s) the rest of the settings apply to.
The second line tells it to go straight into sftp mode. So this will only apply to the users that match the rule above.

If possible, I would use Match Group instead.

Authy is my first choice.

• The encrypted backups for your accounts.
• Allow approval from notifications. But it's disabled if you enable Authy protection PIN.
• For security of the app, you can enable App protection, touch id protection, and protect the entire app.
• Another nice addition is there Authy Desktop app (macOS, Windows and Linux via Snap) and Authy app for Chrome.

@travisdh1 said in Why I Choose LibreOffice:

I've been using OnlyOffice personally for a couple of years now. It was just better at getting the MS Office formatting correct when I made the switch. Which was a major factor for me while looking for a job.

/tangent Recruiters, do yourselves a favor and stop asking for resumes/CVs in Word format! /tangent

I've used LibreOffice since it was only OpenOffice. Remember when it started as StarOffice, the Sun aquesition, the split to LibreOffice, and now the Apache OpenOffice. More history lesson here. Sun purchased the company, Star Division, in 1999 because buying said company for 59.5 million was cheaper than licensing Microsoft Office for 42,000 employees.

Even when asked, I’ll still only provide a PDF version of my resume.

Syncthing is pretty awesome for something like that.

Never mind. I’ve never tried syncthing over WAN.

If I get hit by that bus, they will be in trouble.

That's not good, how up to date is your documentation, disaster plans, etc...

@siringo said in Re-add Server/Computer to AD:

@scottalanmiller Ah yes. Just got onto the console with Mesh Central.

Still don't have an account to log in with though.

In Mesh Central, connect to your server via Terminal and change your local administrator password.

Perfect. It sounds like an music group with IT experience.
LoL.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu 17.10 Released:

Like many things with Ubuntu, Canonical seems to have a trend of attempting to subtly splinter the Linux community, rather than attempting to unite it.

I'll be honest, if it wasn't for Ubuntu. I would either been late to adopt Linux or wouldn't even try Linux at all.

I am being the camera guy at my job.

What?

I've been assigned to record several video sessions for our Program Advisory Committee that we are hosting at the College. Not complaining, free tasty food from Zupas is provided.

Would be nice if XenServer was forked or repackaged into a different version. Maybe call it XenOS and include newer XenCenter that is web-based like ESXi Embedded Host Client.

And that doesn't disable SELinux, CentOS Repo and support other file systems like ext4 and XFS and instead of vhd adopt vhdx.

These discussions will be happening every time XenServer is release because it's still linked to Citrix one way or another.

It's open source on xenserver.org. You go to Citrix website and they confuse you with Standard or Enterprise.
And then after all that you have Citrix XenCenter.

I've been holding those words in for awhile now.

Looks like something you would use for showing of stats of an athlete.
