A: How to create a restricted SSH user for port forwarding?

LekensteynTL;DR - go to the bottom of the anwer, "Applying the restrictions" Adding a restricted user consists of two parts: 1. Creating the user 2. Configuring the SSH daemon (sshd) Configuring sshd The best place to get known to the possibilities of SSH is by reading the related manual pages: ssh ss...

Maybe too lengthy? At least it includes all relevant details

Generally, people do not care, it should just work . Natty was quite a mistake in that view
I think Natty is the vista release
 
Takkat

Natty is different but the kids adopted rapidly even to Unity. Boy said:"Dad that is great!"
I think the more you know the harder it may get to get used to sth different

@RolandTaylor for a while, this was some time ago, they've sold BeOS on german night time television
this was after Be went bust
It's "finally, an operating system that's easy to use! with no viruses!" and so on, and so forth
Magnussoft ZETA
magnussoft ZETA, earlier yellowTAB ZETA, was an operating system formerly developed by yellowTAB of Germany based on the Be Operating System developed by Be Inc.; because of yellowTAB's insolvency, ZETA was later being developed by an independent team of which little was known, and distributed by magnussoft. As of February 28, 2007 the current version of ZETA is 1.5. On March 28, 2007, magnussoft announced that it has discontinued funding the development of ZETA by March 16, because the sales figures had fallen far short of the company's expectations, so that the project was no longer eco...

@KaustubhP If your app isn't specific to twitter, you need to enable more options than just twitter. There's a video presentation about OAuth on the GoogleDevelopers channel on youtube where they explain Google's implementation of it (might be a waste of your time of course, I've no clue)

In fairness they were granted a trademark and you will lose a trademark if you don't defend it when you see abuse. The fault here lies with whoever gave them it in the first place.
Hopefully Amazon (et al) can topple the trademark and turn the phrase into a generic.
 
Stefano Palazzo
Stefano Palazzo
yeah, I should say it like that
also, no sensible business-person would turn down such a trademark

@StefanoPalazzo Well quite. It probably didn't cost Apple much to get the trademark and it means (at least for the time being) they have a phrase that it native to everybody but no other companies are [legally] allowed to use it.

We have three unapproved tag-synonyms. Any opinions on them? 
gnome ← classic
openssh ← ssh
plugins ← extensions
I think the ssh one should be the other way round
 
Jorge Castro
Jorge Castro
classic for sure
the other 2 shrug
I had one on the meta post
that was kind of big
it's moving ati -> amd-graphics
but that affects a ton of stuff
 
Stefano Palazzo

mh.. maybe that deserves its own meta question
I'll reject the ssh and plugins ones. SSH is the wrong way 'round, and plugins and extensions are fairly distinct things.

yeah I am sure there are some people out there using the GNU ssh
the one I can't remember the name for, heh

do you think classic will be okay, given that it'll affect 10.04 questions?
oh sorry,

well they all use GNOME2, so classic should just point to gnome imo

@JorgeCastro I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest notion what you're trying to say.

Q: Merging the "ati" tag into "amd-graphics"

Stefano PalazzoThis tag merge will affect a lot of questions, so I think we should discuss it here before doing it. To be clear: all ati questions will be tagged amd-graphics after the merge. the ati tag will be a synonym for amd-graphics. Should we do it?

It'd be bad for Google results I suppose
