Title: Where's the beef??
Product review: Any system administrator who had to rely on J. Winsor's "Solaris System Administrator's Guide" would be in a very tight spot indeed; any querry into the index will usually result in sucessfully finding a listing, pointing the reader to a one or two sentence explanation of a subject that almost always leaves the main question unanswered. I understand the need for balance between space and the need to cover a subject, but this book is glaring in it's ability to list a subject in the index and then say almost nothing about same. While the book touches on many tasks, touching on them is all it does; and most of the direction this book does give is wasted on generalizations and things that practically any Unix user will already know. Much too simple for any administrator, and too non-specific for any Solaris user, I wouldn't recomend this book to anyone.
