sshd permits logon using disabled user?

I am running Windows 10 (1803) and experimenting with sshd installed as a Windows service. The computer is a domain member. I created a local computer account for testing. I created host keys and a public/private key pair to use to log on the user. This works, except I notice that if I disable t

Re: iperf 2.0.13 available

While iperf may have a maintainer listed (Joel Johnson), I only see one release from him and no mailing list posts since that 2015 upload, so iperf may be orphaned again. At the time Joel noted that 2.0.5 was the last version prior to a fork, but that he deliberately didn't pick that version due t

script.exe is missing from util-linux 2.32.1-1

To whom it may concern: I noticed that script.exe is not included in util-linux 2.32.1-1. I had to downgrade to util-linux 2.25.2-2 before it was installed. This is a tool that I use heavily, so if it is being migrated to a different package (not util-linux), please let me know what I should ins
