enable ipv6 on solaris10 afterthefact

 effing oracle.  
   
 you have this:  
 # ifconfig inet6 interface plumb up  
   
 which in my case is:  
 # ifconfig inet6 igb0 plumb up  
   
 and it spits out:  
 ifconfig: igb0: bad address (try again later)  
   
 no. your doc writers are jerks. here's what it should look like:  
   
 root@host:~$ ifconfig igb0 inet6 plumb  
 root@host:~$ ifconfig igb0 inet6 token ::10/64  
   
 root@host:~$ svcadm enable svc:/network/routing/ndp:default  
   
 root@host:~$ pkill -HUP in.ndpd  
   
 root@host:~$ ifconfig -a6  
   
 igb0: flags=2000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2  
     inet6 fe80::210:e0ff:fe0c:ea9a/10  
     ether 0:10:e0:c:ea:9a  
   
 make it permanent.  
   
 root@host:~$ vi /etc/hostname6.igb0  
 hostname  
 addif fe80:0000:0000:210:e0ff:fe0c:ea9a/10 up  
   
 * note: : is a series of :0000:  
   
 oracle, eat a bug. eat a lot.  

let's restart solaris 10 sshd

 To check if the service is online or offline:   
 # svcs -v ssh   
 online - 12:23:17 115 svc:/network/ssh:default   
   
 To stop the service:   
 #svcadm disable network/ssh   
   
 To start the service:   
 #svcadm enable network/ssh   
   
 To restart the service:   
 # svcadm restart network/ssh

ufs to zfs on solaris10

 grumble my second drive i've dedicated to solaris zones   
 has run out of inodes cause it it ufs and not zfs. okay.  
   
 # nano -w /etc/vfstab  
   
 remove second drive definition; e.g. c2t3C76E3E06C7010BCd0  
   
 # umount /zones  
 # format -e  
   
 format  
 select the second drive. go home.  
   
 # zpool list  
 # zpool create zones c2t3C76E3E06C7010BCd0

unzip a lot of zipped files in solaris

 for i in *.zip ; do unzip $i ; done  

add patches sol10

 #!/usr/bin/bash  
 dir=$(pwd)  
 pkgs=`ls $dir`  
   
 for i in $pkgs  
  do  
  pkgadd -d $i
