Good general book on solaris, not much about Solaris 10
This book was no help in setting up solaris 10. I'm an experience admin, yet basic things such as how to start a service shuch as ssh or telnet were not covered. The NIS portion of this book is wast of time. The commands printed in the book, dont exist in the OS (nisclient) Dont waste your money.

Feb 14, 2006     A review from Washington State
Good, but...
This is a good book that touches on most of Solaris10. HOWEVER, it says nothing about one of the most important new subjects in Solaris 10: how to automatically start services at boot time. OK, you're thinking, "Big deal. Everybody knows you do that via links to scripts in /etc/init.d, and via entries in /etc/inet/inetd.conf." That's not necessarily true anymore. You should be using the "svcs" and "svcadm" commands to manage the autostarting of services. The old /etc/init.d scripts are now referred to as "legacy." This whole area of services manipulation deserved an entire chapter.
