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 :)


Steve

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

another vote for the O'Reilly books :D

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 :D

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.
