[tech] Moonwrasse - new Solaris VM

[David Adam]

Since Musundo is unbootable[1], and I have some stuff I want to test on 
Solaris, I've created a new VM on Medico for running Solaris 11.1 (x86): 
Moonwrasse[2].

Solaris is a bundle of fun to get running, but it supports NFS home 
directories[3], LDAP logins[4] and SSH public key logins too[5].

Solaris is UNIX, but it's a bit different to GNU/Linux. If you're logging 
in, you might want to include /opt/csw/bin, /usr/xpg6/bin and 
/usr/xpg4/bin in your $PATH before /usr/bin.

Also, be careful with `killall`.

Wheel members should be able to log in and use `/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil` to 
install extra software.

[3]: with nfs-props/client_versmax clamped to NFSv3, and IPv6 enabled, 
     otherwise the terrifying "permission denied" error persists
