erics, April 18th, 2022 If you want to preserve quoting to pass shell arguments to a called command, use the four characters “$@” (including the double quotes) instead of the two characters $*

erics, March 17th, 2022 When I sent email from my desktop Mac cron jobs, it went out with the full hostname as the domain, i.e.: root@demo.wyzaerd.com, when all I wanted was a simple root@wyzaerd.com for ease of deliverability and domain maint. Edit the mail configuration file main.cf:
|
1 |
vi /etc/postfix/main.cf |
Add/edit the myorigin value of $mydomain:
|
1 |
myorigin = $mydomain |

For MySQL 5.7: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html For some other v5.7 nodes, I had admin access via a different user’s login, so all I needed was this:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret'; ALTER USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret'; |

If you're seeing this Grafana has failed to load its application files 1. This could be caused by your reverse proxy settings. 2. If you host grafana under subpath make sure your grafana.ini root_url setting includes subpath. If not using a reverse proxy make sure to set serve_from_sub_path to true. 3. If you have a local dev build make sure you build frontend using: yarn start, yarn start:hot, or yarn build 4. Sometimes restarting grafana-server can help 5. Check if you are using a non-supported browser. For more information, refer to the list of supported browsers. |
I switched to the latest version of FireFox and was fine.

Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql The GPG keys listed for the "MySQL 5.7 Community Server" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package. Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository. Failing package is: mysql-community-server-5.7.37-1.el7.x86_64 GPG Keys are configured as: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql |
SOLUTION: Import the needed new key and manually edit the config files before retrying the yum update.

rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022 |
I had to edit two files: mysql-community-source.repo and mysql-community.repo

erics, January 26th, 2022 If you are asked “Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?” when trying to connect via SSH, then the remote host’s identification key has not yet been stored in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. This then requires you to type the full string “yes” in order to proceed because the default value for ssh is […]

erics, December 7th, 2021 I needed to block email based on the Subject header. The solution is simple: Edit main.cf as root and uncomment or add:
|
1 |
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks |
Next, creaate or edit /etc/postfix/header_checks as root and add the following line:
|
1 2 |
/subject:\sbad subject text here/ REJECT header_checks NO SPAM ALLOWED /subject:\stest subject text here/ DISCARD header_checks NO SPAM ALLOWED |
Finally, run sudo postfix reload NOTE: Do NOT add the “i” after the regular expression! It is case-insensitive by […]
