Fine, then can you share the link? My comment would be on the low presence of nsswitch.conf; because this one usually is not needed to be changed in BSD or GNU/Linux, in Solaris it is badly needed (everything sits on 'files' your 5. CONFIGURATION USING DEFAULT METHOD misses it, everything else is there, so if someone followed this whole chapter, she would end up with a functional system, but never resolve properly after a reboot. Your 'ping www.google.com' ought to be after the reboot. Following such a long text, my 2 sen would rather be a checklist: /etc/hosts to contain the local resolution info, IP and FQDN /etc/hostname.if to 'up' the interface /etc/nsswitch.conf to contain hosts: hosts files dns /etc/defaultrouter to contain the gateway /etc/resolv.conf to contain the nameserver (preferably as IP, to me) It might be better to only svcadm after this list instead of the end your chapter 5.
