Anyone know a good book for Solaris system administration? I'm starting from not much so I'd like to understand the boot process, setting up user accounts, networking, etc.

I have a box that I want to build from scratch to run Apache and some sort of FTP daemon, perhaps Samba as well.

 

A few were recommended here a couple of weeks back, have a search on 'solaris'.

Anything from the O'Reilly house, or this one - Solaris Boot Camp

Was thinking of O'Reilly's System Adminstration (Frisch) and TCP/IP (Hunt). I'll do a search..

 

Both of them too .


You can't have too many books

Essential System Administration isn't Solaris specific, but it ought to be part of any sysadmins library

 

another vote for the O'Reilly books

 

Just ordered the two O'Reilly books from Amazon. Had the boot camp one in the shopping cart, but it was on 8 day delivery so I ditched it.

Might put it in with a future order.

Thanks, guys

Boot Camp one is excellent, i would very highly recommend it. I worked on a project with Dominic Butler (co-author) recently and the length and depth of his knowledge and logical thinking was astounding.
