Allow root user to connect to build-in sftp on a synology

Since DSM 4.1, support for sftp has been added natively in DSM.
To activate the service, go in Control Panel > FTP.

By default, you do NOT have an access to sftp with the root account.
You can allow the the root user to connect through sftp by editing the file /etc/ftpusers and commenting out the line beginning with root :
#root
lp
smmsp
nobody
guest
Sadly, you will get only access to the home folder of root, and nothing else.

You can obtain a wider access to your system using the account admin but you can only browse shared folders.

ubuntu 20.04 / netplan / change mac address and static ip

I wasn't able to set together a virtual mac address and a static IP using netplan: either the mac address didn't change, or IP was not set. I finally got the trick using a fake nic definition that matches the new virtual mac address I've set.    network:   renderer: networkd   ethernets:     ens160:       match:         macaddress: 00:0c:29:5a:69:00       macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6     ens160_2:       match:         macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6        addresses: [ 139.99.5.72/32 ]       nameservers:         addresses: [ 8.8.8.8 ]       routes:       - to: 0.0.0.0/0         via: 139.99.5.254         on-link: true     ens192:       addresses: [192.168.103.14/24]       #dhcp4: true   version: 2
