I wanted to save the iptables list to disk, but got an error when I tried:
# service iptables save
The service command supports only basic LSB actions (start, stop, restart, try-restart, reload, force-reload, status). For other actions, please try to use systemctl.
The solution was to install the iptables-services package:
# yum install iptables-services -y
...
Installed:
iptables-services.x86_64 0:1.8.4-10.amzn2.1.2
Complete!
I was then able to save properly:
root@inbound2:/var/log # service iptables save
iptables: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:[ OK ]

When trying to access the serial console on AWS, I got the following error: Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked
Since I had edited /etc/fstab, the host would not boot.
The only way to fix this problem is to unmount the root volume from the affected instance, mount it on another node, edit the stab file, and reverse the process., ending up with that volume re-attached as root on the problem node

In the macOS Terminal, my mouse scroll wheel would magically start scrolling the command line history instead of the window buffer scroll bar on the right to show window history.
This happened when an SSH session was disconnected or timed out.
In order to get rsync to have access to the hard drive in macOS Ventura, you need to add rsync and other programs to the Full Disk Access panel under Privacy & Security in System Settings.
First click on System Settings
Next locate Privacy & Security at the bottom of the same block as General in the left menu bar and click on it
Next, click on Full Disk Access
Then open a Finder window and navigate to the top-level ‘Macintosh HD’ and look for the usr directory, select it, then select bin. Finally, drag & drop the rsync command into the Full Disk Access window in true Apple style.
Finish adding all of the below commands and rsync will work
This is the list of files to add via Drag & Drop to the Full Disk Access panel under Privacy & Security:
