SFTP Received Message Too Long
by dervish on May.28, 2013, under Linux, MAC
“Received message too long” can be caused by using /sbin/nologin as the users shell for an account that is being accessed via SFTP. SFTP generates the error when it receives unexpected output during the login.
lily:~ dervish$ grep user /etc/passwd
user:x:101347:101347:User SFTP Account:/var/SFTP/user:/sbin/nologin
lily:~ dervish$ sftp user@sftp.server.com
user@sftp.server.com's password:

touch /etc/nologin.txt
lily:~ dervish$ sftp user@sftp.server.com
user@sftp.server.com's password:

MySQL Logrotate Error
by dervish on Nov.06, 2012, under Debian, Linux
If you move a database to another server, you may need to reset the MySQL password for the debian-sys-maint user.
Error encountered:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for ‘/var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log ‘
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
Fix:
Set password for debian-sys-maint user to the one contained in the /etc/mysql/debian.cnf file.
# cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password = xxxxxx
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password = xxxxxx
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
basedir = /usr
# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
