Unable to login`/bin/bash: permission denied`

Posted on April 10, 2017 by Eric Friesen
Recently I was working on a project which involved setting up sftp and rsync but having user locked to their home directory using chroot.

The difference good equipment can make.

Posted on February 18, 2017 by Eric Friesen
WiFi.  It’s everywhere and we get upset when it doesn’t work.  That’s why it’s important to have the proper equipment, setup correctly to ensure it will work when you want it.
