When I tried to run a scan with NMAP over my VPN connection, I received the following error:

PS C:\> nmap -sP 192.168.10.0/24
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-11-18 09:35 W. Europe Standard Time
nexthost: Failed to determine dst MAC address for target 192.168.10.0
QUITTING!

Alright… A quick search with Google revealed the following topic: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q1/81.

Although I already have some experience with Linux (Debian, Red Hat), the first steps with my brand new Solaris 10 installation turned out to be a little bit harder than expected. This was due to the minimalistic shell (SH) and problems while installing the SSH server. So here are my notes for those trying to get into Solaris. The first part includes the steps necessary to install the BASH shell. In the second part, installation of the SSH daemon is shown.

Setup: Solaris 10 Update 9, No remote services enabled, POSIX C locale, Core System Installation
