Disabling Sendmail
A common comment that comes up when talking to friends and acquaintances who admin Solaris is that sendmail keeps getting reenabled when they install patches, obviously annoying, particularly when they are not using JASS to control your upgrades (personally I'd recommend just downloading JASS and using it, but its not always possible).
The standard mechanism that people use is to move /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail to another name, but when you repatch your box this will be recreated. What you need to do is create the file /etc/default/sendmail and put in an entry of
MODE=
Nice and easy, but like I mentioned, JASS will do this for you. (Did I mention JASS often enough ;) ).

Beijing
So I've arrived back in Ireland after spending 10 days at the Sun office in Beijing. Interesting place, very different to what I expected. So outside of the work stuff we felt that we had to do the standard tourist trip to the great wall, amazing, if tiring. Thankfully Ed has written all the details up here already.
