How to import a private key and certificate into a java keystore
Convert to PEM format via openssl :
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.der -outform DER
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -inform PEM -out cert.der -outform DER
Import private key and cert via ImportKey class
Import the keystore generated above into your existing keystore :
keytool -v -importkeystore -srckeystore "C:\keystore.ImportKey" -destkeystore "C:\.keystore"
(optionally you can specify the alias via –srcalias and –destalias, note that an alias is unique within the keystore)

How to configure a user on SUN Solaris 10
edit /etc/passwd and update the shell, for example, i want to configure bash for root
root:x:0:0:Super-User:/:/usr/bin/bash
log out and log in again to verify.
within your home folder, also specified in /etc/passwd, above example sets / as the home folder for root, create a .profile file with the following content
export TERM=vt100
export PS1="\$USER@$HOSTNAME:\w> \[\e[0m\]"
this will set your terminal to vt100, which allows for easy editing and does some formatting on your prompt :-)
check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS1 for more info!
