Free Solaris 10 root account and training

[Kartik_Vashishta <kartik.vashishta@gmail.com>]

Comfort and Peace, I wish you.


You have root access on a Solaris 10 system. About breaking something,
do not worry.

username: root

password:

(just hit "enter")


To you, I decided to provide root access. Root access, will, help you
to learn.


This is a non-global zone, so, certain features may be not present.


You may, on this system,install packages(install web servers etc), you
may, install patches(learn how to patch a Solaris system), you may
install software, etc..... http://sunfreeware.com offers many free
packages....do not hesitate to install any you like.... http://sunsolve.sun.com
offers free Sun patches, try installing some. If you have any problem,
then, to contact me, do not hesitate.

Try to keep connection on, sometimes the connection may, "time
out"....I'm working on fixing it.... Play around with the
system..learn, enjoy..

What I may do to help, let me know. How to connect to the system: You
may, on the dos prompt, type: telnet 98.215.91.249 2033 (the spaces
between, the word, "telnet", and, "98.215.91.249", and, "2033" are
important)

or

Download and install putty, putty is, among other things, "a telnet
client". In putty, you may "store" your session connection stuff....
encure "telnet" is checked, replace the 23 by 2033, put in the IP
address...give it a name...save click "open", "load" is different from
"open"....ENSURE that the correct data is in your saved session:
98.215.91.249 and 2033

So, you have a free account, you even have root access, what next? Get
a look and feel of the sotware, familiarize yourself. Try some of the
exercises mentioned. http://www.kartik.com/FreeUNIXTraining.html Try
installing software. Try installing patches. For instance, you may
install apache and serve web pages....let me know if you need help....

Thanks to my girlfriend, for, helping me provide this.
