8th November
Well, the flight was a bit of an endurance. Starting at about 10pm Friday night (the 7th) and finishing on Saturday at 2pm Christchurch time. For those (like me) that have to sit down and do the math, that’s about 10 hours, of course, flying took only about 5 hours. The rest of the time was taken up by waiting, or getting ready to fly out.
We didn’t get to sleep until 8pm, so that means we were up about, hmmm, lets see, 6am Friday to 4pm Saturday, so that’s about 22 hours without sleep. I was half expecting to see fairys fly off the top of door frames, or non-existant kittens jumping out of peoples laps, thanks to sleep deprevation. We were saved by my Aunty and Uncle, who, are excellent hosts.

After a much needed 12 hour kip, we were refreshed and ready to go looking about Christchurch, with my cousin, nothing too major, just a quick look through the markets and a few shops.
If you’re using OpenSolaris and the CIFS server stuff that’s built-in with ZFS, you may have run into a problem where you can’t edit or rename files with Windows, even though you’ve got write permissions on the file. It’s not the server that’s stopping you, it’s the Windows client. It’s looking at the ACLs and checking for permission, sees that it doesn’t have it and denying you.
The trick is you have to set the ACLs to what Windows expects. To do this, make sure you’ve got you path set to use the Solaris ls and chmod utils.
export PATH=/bin:$PATH
Then set the permissions for all the files, and dirs recursively:
chmod -R A=owner@:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd:allow,owner@::fd:deny,group@:wp:fd:deny,group@:rx:fd:allow,everyone@:wpAWCo:fd:deny,everyone@:rxaRcs:fd:allow movies
Depending on what you want to do, you will have to change the ACL options, but hopefully this helps a little.
