sshd not allowing a subgroup to authenticate according to it's authentication method
by David Mehler 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

Hello, I'm running sshd on FreeBSD 12.1. I'm having an issue, I want users in a group sftpusers to be able to be logged in via password and to be chrooted to their home directories. Everytime I try to log in I'm getting no supported authenticationmethods publickey. From the man page I thought that a group definition overrode a global configuration setting. Here's a config snipet: # Authentication: AuthenticationMethods publickey #StrictModes yes #PubkeyAuthentication yes #PasswordAuthentication no #PermitEmptyPasswords no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no UsePAM no AllowAgentForwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no #GatewayPorts no #ChrootDirectory none Subsystem sftp internal-sftp # Set up groups for different types of logins AllowGroups sshusers sftpusers Match Group sshusers PubkeyAuthentication yes PasswordAuthentication no X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no AllowAgentForwarding no PermitTunnel no Match Group sftpusers ChrootDirectory /home/%u ForceCommand internal-sftp X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no AllowAgentForwarding no PermitTunnel no PermitTTY no PasswordAuthentication yes Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

rdp sluggish
by David Mehler 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hello, I'm running a Windows 2012r2 server instance through vultr. I've connected to it via my win10 remote desktop and have enabled audio. I then pulled up narrator and realized it was a little laggy. I thought it was just narrator so I copied NVDA 2019.3 over to the vps and installed and configured it. The lag still remains, and it's also giving me a little bit of audio breakup, not to make the vps unusable neither issue renders it unusable, but it really is quite annoying when trying to set up things. I was wondering if there are any local (read host machine), or rdp, or server vps settings I could change to better optimize things? If it matters I'm totally screen reader dependent, I don't use a monitor except in emergencies so can I tune back the video and give higher priority to audio? Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

How to get to notifications in Microsoft Edge
by John G. Heim 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

I am trying to install nvda on a Win10 virtual machine. So I can start narrator, use edge to get to the nvda download page and I can click on the download button. At that point, narrator says something like, "notification, what do you want to do with this file?" I think I need to hit some shortcut key to get to the notification and select save the file. But I'll be darned if I can figure out what key combo to hit.

Hello, I just spun up a windows 2012r2 instance from vultr. I'm running windows 10 1909 locally. I'd likt to connect to this instance, is rdp the best option? My goal is to connect to the server, then activate narrator, followed by an NVDA install. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

vps providers
by David Mehler 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Hello, I might be in the market for a new vps provider. I was wondering if anyone uses either digital ocean or vultr? If either how are they in terms of accessibility? My current vps provider made some changes that IMO shot accessibility down plus some of these changes also took out a majority of my setup, I am not pleased about this. Any input welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Build logs in Azure Devops
by Andrew Hodgson 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

Hi guys, Anyone using Azure Devops? I am moving a load of our stuff from Jenkins and TeamCity into it and really liking the yaml based pipelines. One issue though is I am finding reading the build logs difficult with latest JFW and Chrome. When I go into the build logs, I don't seem to be able to read the logs from the first page that comes up, I have to use the option to view raw logs, which gives me a more verbose output with every line timestamped. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks. Andrew.

Duo is fully accessible.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Hello, Just a note to anyone looking at implementing two factor authentication for their organization, The duo administration website is fully accessible. I don't know if this is something they set out to do but I have had absolutely no problems fully configuring complex policies and applications using Duo. Also their documentation is nicely formatted and is generally written very clearly. So, if you're considering 2FA or MFA, from an accessibility perspective, I think Duo deserves some consideration.

Hello, What is everyone using for Linux accessible rescue images? I've got a machine I'm needing to do some checking/troubleshooting on and was wondering what is currently available?

Re: Dream Machine was Re: Netgear or Asus Mesh
by Jason White 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

How does it compare with running a typical device that supports OpenWRT? My current router at home is a Linksys WRT1900AC, running the current OpenWRT release. It's old enough to support 802.11ac, but not the newer Phase II features. I don't need mesh, so I haven't investigated the OpenWRT mesh networking support. There is of course newer hardware available from various vendors. I don't plan to upgrade until 802.11ax is supported though. The Web interface of OpenWRT is relatively accessible with a screen reader, and one can access a shell via ssh to edit configuration files or to issue Linux commands. There is also a variety of optional packages available for installation, so if you need a Radius server, or IPSec, or Samba, or any of a number of other capabilities, they're obtainable. One disadvantage of OpenWRT, in my view, is that the operating system is not packaged as a typical Linux distribution would be. You have to upgrade the entire image as a unit, taking care to preserve your optional packages and customizations, although this is better automated in the current version.

Hello, Does anyone have Espeakup working on Ubuntu 18.04lts in a cli? I've got Gui speech going with Orca and Voxin. I'd like to get espeakup and speakup or yasr or a console screen reader going so that when I flip between graphical and cli tty I'll always have speech. I'm getting an installation error with espeakup, this is on a fully updated Ubuntu 18.04lts amd64 virtual machine. #apt-get install espeakup Reading package lists...
