~/.bashrc on Linux or ~/.bash on MacOS

Test on the terminal (just paste it on the terminal and execute it):

content_copyenv LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs

If the shell you use is bash, you can add it to ./bash_profile as follows:

content_copyalias gpw='genpasswd'
genpasswd() {
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs
}


Remember to update source ~/.bash_profile take effect.
Then we only need to enter gpw to generate a set of random passwords.

                                        I think most of the current Linux supports Access Control List (ACL). With filesystem ACLs enabled,
We can set additional permissions to different users or groups.
This allows us to set the file system permissions of different users more freely.

Go straight to the command.

                                        On the new version of RHEL 7/CentOS 7 or Fedora, we can check the status and make adjustments through timedatectl.

                                        When we use ssh to connect to the host for the first time, a fingerprint confirmation of the host key will be displayed.
Sometimes use rsync for some automated scheduling, maybe the remote host has changed and needs to be automatically allowed,
How to let ssh automatically allow fingerprints to connect without manually pressing yes in interactive mode?
