Change username in Ubuntu

To manage every aspect of the user database, you use the usermod tool. To change username (it is probably best to do this without being logged in): usermod -l newUsername oldUsername This however, doesn’t rename the home folder. To change home-folder, use usermod -d /home/newHomeDir -m newUsername after you changed the username.

setup memcached for cloudlinux

Can’t resolve *.local domain on VPN Mac Yosemite

After running sudo discoveryutil mdnsactivedirectory yes in the terminal we’re able to resolve .local FQDNs again. This gets it to use regular (unicast) DNS for .local domains rather than just using multicast DNS (mDNS, aka Bonjour) to look-up .local addresses.
