Solaris mini-digest, issue #2

Okay, here's the next list of useful, in my opinions, articles on Solaris:

Blog entries of Sun engineers from:
Bryan Cantrill talks about Using DTrace to understand Gnome

Richard McDougall has a short entry on Performance Improvements for the File System Cache in Solaris 10

Liane Praza has continued sharing her knowledge on smf: this time she talks about how smf decides whether a particular service under its control is failing in a smf - fault/retry models article.

I also think you should read a Solaris 10 hardening manual on the CISecurity website. They're going to finish the security evaluation (scoring) tool soon, but before it's ready you're welcome to read their recommentations on enabling/disabling some services and some general system configuration tips. You can download a pdf-file with their manual from this page.
