Reader Reviews
The author does not cover the new features of Solaris 10. He mentions zones in passing, never mentions DTrace, and his information on configuring services using inetd.conf is outdated (no mention anywhere of Service Manager and using it to enable/disable services). This is a Solaris 9 book with a couple of paragraphs added. A complete disappointment.
