One quite straight-forward thing – which i didn’t really think about until I was playing with multiple zones and the FSS – was that you can actually have 0 shares allocated – which just means you get all the spare cycles. If you have 5 zones, all of which running FSS (and why wouldn’t you be), all configured like the following:-

    ZoneID  zone Name  Shares
    0 Global Zone 50
    1 prod 50
    2 preprod 25
    3 test 0
    4 dev 10

Pretty good for when you do want to make sure that any non-production zones should never impact production (well aside from memory and network impact).

firefox bookmark synchronisation

Firstly install foxmarks – this provides a firefox addon which allows you to upload/sync your bookmarks with foxmarks site, however it’s nice that they’ve also added a way by which you can add your own server (either ftp, http, or https) to upload them too!

This is as simple as configuring webDAV:-


 <Location /webdav>
           DAV             On
           AuthType        Digest
           AuthName        "webdav-example"
           AuthDigestFile  /home/www/digest-password
           Require         valid-user
 </Location>

Then configure the foxmarks client to use your username/password and the URL that you’ve set up above – when you hit sync you should then see a foxmarks.xml in your webdav’ed directory

Suppression of authentication log entries:-

<Exception>
exception.id=(“authentication_redirect_from_virtual_host”,
“authentication_redirect_to_virtual_host”, “authentication_failed”)
access_log[main](no)

And to get a dump of the config, though the “unencrypted” option doesn’t seem to work on SGOS 4.2.3

 configure t
 line-vty
 length 0
 show version
 show status
 show configuration with-keyrings unencrypted
 length 80
 exit
 exit
 exit
