I had to fiddle around with this a bit and thought it might be useful to others. I’m using a http://joyent.com http://smartos.org zone as a file server for my Macs at home, and http://netatalk.sourceforge.net is really the best way to share files …

I will be speaking Wednesday night at the http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-DevOps/ group’s October meeting, hosted by http://webassign.net. The topic is “Introduction to illumos”. I’m expecting this to be a gentle introduction to the illumos world f…
