I have been using RSA SSH keys forever to login to my various AWS EC2 instances. With macOS Ventura 13.3.1 ssh failed with the “Permission Denied” error. Using ssh -vvv, I saw that the RSA key was now being rejected. After much research, I decided to implement new keys on the client (Ventura) side using […]

I wanted to use the same SSH keys for multiple AWS regions. As it turns out, AWS simply stores the public key when you download the private key as a .pem file. The solution is to simply generate the public key locally from the existing .pem, then import the public key using the same name […]

PROBLEM: Email delivery to Google was failing with a “Service Unavailable” error:
relay = aspmx . l . google . com . [ IPv6 : 2607 : f8b0 : 400d : c0c :: 1a ] , dsn = 5.0.0 , stat = Service unavailable
Note that the network address for the destination is shown as IPv6! That is the root cause of the issue: 1. Sendmail is sending mail from the IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 address 2. Google rejects IPv6 senders without proper reverse […]

I wanted to change instance type from t2 to t3, but got an error when i went to start the instance:

First, use lsblk to see the raw partitions:
# df -hT
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use % Mounted on
/ dev / nvme0n1p1 xfs 20G 2.8G 18G 14 % /

Note how the partition at 259:1 is only 20GB, while the entire disk at 259:0 is 40GB. A partition resize is required in this case.

If the XFS tools are not already installed , you can install them as follows :
sudo yum install xfsprogs
For an EXT4 filesystem, use the resize2fs command instead:
sudo resize2fs / dev / nvme0n1p1

Problem While running the aws cli command from a Perl async command inside apid, I go the following error:
IOError : [ Errno 10 ] No child processes
Solution The issue turned out to be a bug in Python2.7, so I upgraded to Python3.4, then uninstalled and re-installed the aws cli software so that it used the proper Python34 version. Procedure

ImportError : No module named cryptography
The solution in this article gave me the answer:
sudo rm - rf / opt / eff . org / *
sudo pip install - U certbot
sudo certbot renew -- debug
Turns out Python was old at version 2.7, so did the following also:
sudo yum - y install python36
sudo alternatives -- config python
sudo pip install -- upgrade pip
Also had to change the cron job script to call certbot directly instead of letsencrypt-auto : vi /root/letsencrypt-cron.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
# letsencrypt-cron.sh
#
#OLD: if ! /root/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew > /var/log/letsencrypt/renew.log 2>&1 ; then
#NEW:
if ! / usr / bin / certbot renew > / var / log / letsencrypt / renew . log 2 > & 1 ; then
echo Automated renewal failed :
cat / var / log / letsencrypt / renew . log
exit 1
fi
