Test IPv6 Implementation on Solaris and Linux

This tutorial will try to implement IP Address version 6 on Opensolaris 2009.06 and Linux (Slackware 12.2). Both OS are already support IPv6 by default so we just enable/activate it. The schenario of this test is using direct connection between the two OSes and using existing private IP addresses. IPv6 makes it very easy to assign existing addresses.

How to edit crontab in Sun Solaris

First time I edited crontab file in Solaris was when I wanted to schedule my system to always synchronized to NTP server. It is set in the crontab file.
On Linux and BSD, just run command “crontab -e” to edit the crontab.

It is different on Solaris system, you need to specify the editor program to use. In Linux and BSD are set by default to use vi editor.

How to set / change timezone in Sun Solaris

In our core system, there are 3 Sun Fire V120. Two of them are running Solaris 9 and the remaining system running Solaris 8. The timezone of Solaris 9 are already set to Asia/Jakarta because these were installed by me whereas the Solaris 8 was installed by previous engineer and the timezone was set to GMT.

I want to synchronise this machine to an NTP server but because the timezone was set to GMT, the time we get was not in Jakarta timezone (GMT+7), so this tutorial is written to help you how to change timezone to GMT+7 in Solaris operating system.
