So I’ve ported this article over because it was unironically one of my most popular articles. I guess people really like VNC, which is a mess. Given that Wayland is supposed to be coming back as the “real” default of Ubuntu soon I should revisit this. So in setting up Ubuntu 17.10 on a remote server, you might naturally wish to set up VNC on your box because let’s face it, monitor connectivity is at a premium and command-line wizardry, while amazing, isn’t the best way to go for everyone....

I wrote a bunch of blogs about SSSD that people might find useful during my tenure at IDMWorks. https://www.idmworks.com/iam-technology/linux-sudoer-mgmt-part-1/ https://www.idmworks.com/iam-technology/linux-sudoer-mgmt-part-2/ https://www.idmworks.com/iam-technology/linux-sudoer-mgmt-part-3/ https://www.idmworks.com/apps-for-enterprise/ubuntu-netplan/ What’s absolutely hilarious is that it now says they’re written by “Christine B.”, who I presume worked content management for IDMWorks in porting over to a new system.

So this is the beginning of me ranting about things I am working on, for better or worse. Stay tuned.
