If you are going to shoot a photo with the sun in the background and the automatic function says F5.6, 125, should I move the F up to F8 or down to F4?

Thanks. What would you do for a sunset? Same thing?

The camera thinks there is more light than there really is because it is partly seeing the sun not just the light on the subject. You want more light to go onto the picture so you go to a lower number aperture. Go to F4. You might also need a fill flash on the faces depending on what you are trying to achieve.

The advice above is good, but you are going to blow out the sun. You are not going to get a correct shot of someone standing right in front of the sun and have the sun and the person turn out both correct unless you shoot two frames exposing one for the sun. one for the person and photoshop them.
If you want a picture of the sunset, shoot the meter, if it is a full sunset, ie it isnt past the horizon then sunny/16.

Yeah, you'd go to F4 cause if you don't the thing you're taking a picture of turns out really dark. However, if you're trying to do a Sillhouette type thing, where the subject turns out black, you might want to close the aperture a little...
