This website is currently under construction, but we hope to add a number of useful tutorials, howtos and links.

We also aim to include various additional sections for users of other 'nix's such as Irix and Solaris.

• Sun Help and Support
• PROM commands - a list of useful PROM commands for Sparc10/20 machines.

Edit the following files:-

/etc/resolve.conf - defines name servers
/etc/sysconfig/network - defines IP address and netmask etc
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - defines settings for network card

The date and time can be set with the date command. The syntax is: date MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]

The alternative solution is to install NTP and let the server synchronise the time/date from the internet.

Type the following:- export TZ=BST (or GMT etc.)

To synchronise the hardware clock, type:- hwclock --systohc --utc
