A while back I wrote an entry on how to access Windows shares. One limitation I ran into was the inability to mount the windows share at boot. A comment to my recent post on Startup Programs got me thinking about alternative solutions. I presume I'm unable to mount the windows share at boot via the /etc/vfstab file because the smb client SMF service that is required hasn't started yet. Well then, why not create my own SMF service, that's dependent on the smb client, to handle...

If you have IPv6 enabled, www.kame.netshows a kame anime (animated tortoise).If you just have IPv4, the kame won't move.IPv4 Internet addresses, 32 bits in length, are running out.The replacement is IPv6 addresses, which are 128 bits.Ten years ago, IPv6 was in an experimental stage for several operating systems.On Linux, experimental patches, modules, and binaries were available, which I cobbled together to enable IPv6 on my home network.To testmy old IPv6 setup,I decided to...

As of VirtualBox 2.0.4, shared folders are still not supported for Solaris guests. However, you can still share data with your host operating system using SMB. In this example I'll explain how to set up the share on Mac OS and access it from OpenSolaris. Step 1: Configure Mac OS to share files Open the Sharing system preference and set File Sharing to On: Click the Options button and select Share files and folders using SMB: Note down your Mac's IP address, which you can find...

Let's play a little word association... Keyboard Shortcut Association alt+tab Application Switcher alt+F4 Close Window ctrl+esc Panel Menu ctrl+space Input Method? Input Method? Surely this is useful for some folks, but I would guess the majority of you to expect ctrl+space to be associated with code completion. My teammate Roman has already filed a defect for this, and I was happy to learn that it has already been addressed in the upcoming 2008.11 release. For now, if you...

I found out that some of the important keys don't work in OpenSolaris terminal and filed a bug for this. I got really a useful response in the bug discussion so I'd like to share these tips for using the terminal in OpenSolaris: Home and End keys don't work as expected in the terminal, but you can use Ctrl+a and Ctrl+e to go to the beginning and to the end of the line. Ctrl-C is used for interrupting, but in order to copy and paste text you can use Ctrl-Shift-C and...
