I have a linux (debian based) server which is configured to allow SSH session to the user ‘admin’, but not the user ‘root’. Both these accounts are linked somehow because they share the same password.
Your system is available on a network and you want to protect yourself against brute force attacks, so no one can guess your root account password.
I have a USB barcode scanner at /dev/input/event0 (/dev/input/by-id/usb-Metrologic_Metrologic_Scanner-event-kbd), and scanning a barcode causes it to send keypress events. I’m capturing these keypresses using the libdevinput Ruby library, which works great. The issue is that each barcode is also entered as a username, and subsequently a password on the Raspberry Pi, causing lots of failed login attempts. (The Raspberry Pi will be headless, and inside a microwave.)
I would like to have a dynamic motd, but I can’t figure out how to do it.
I’m getting this error in Debian stretch during the boot process
I have been trying to create a bootable debian (jessie/8.4) image for the past 2 days, and as far as I can tell I have the procedure right, but I can not get the filesystem right. I am relatively sure that I am doing something wrong here, missing something with mounting or /etc/fstab (there isn’t one in my image). I was hoping someone with some experience would be able to help me out/show me what I am missing.
I have debian squeeze amd64. My current shell is bash. If I write the following in my terminal, it works:
How can I get, not the dependencies of a package, but the packages that are depending on a certain package?
I’m trying to use a Debian network cd to install it, via the advanced graphical installer. I want to use the full-disk encryption option, but I’m trying to install it on an older machine. I think it has about 1GB of RAM. I installed Pop!_OS on it, and it ran fast enough, as I could specify a decent swapfile size, but try as I might, I couldn’t get it to find a graphics driver that would give me anything but a 640 screen resolution. (Debian found a great video driver, FWIW).
Since recently Debian has changed the default behavior for dmesg and I cannot use it simply from my local user.
