The scenario is that users are controlled by sssd and you want to add a user locally for those times when your connection to your password backend goes down. Useradd won't let you do it though, cause the user already exists. I figured augeas would be the perfect way to do that but I kept hitting a problem, augeas would fail.
I was trying to get my Samsung TV to play files from my Beefy miracle box and although it was able to connect, it would not show any files. It took a bit of hunting around but I found the following patch needed to be applied to get the files to display.

I ran into a snag when trying to update the bios on my PE R210ii, the Bios update is 8MB, too large to fit on a floppy image, so I needed to make a floppy image large enough for the file.

Funny enough the first link that came back in my google search was that of my coworker.
