I think, for a short overview of how to configure Solaris, this book is quite good. It is unfair for the other reviewers to expect the hundreds of pages of the bat book to be compressed into a 20 page chapter - of course, you should refer to the other excellent O'Reilly titles in this area for more information. I have find this book to be more of a roadmap - and there's some good detail in there too. I liked the scientific approach to capacity estimation very refreshing - I know we all have rules of thumb for doing this, but it's nice to see some formal models.

Unlike Milo, I found the four pages on SSH to be more than sufficient.

I just hope there is a Solaris 9 version to be released soon covering more advanced topics.
