There's more going on than just unfamiliarity. Earlier versions were unfamiliar to someone used to Linux or BSD, but easy to understand because they were mostly configured by flat files. Modern Solaris has deliberately moved away from this and toward opaque configuration tools that modify stuff you aren't supposed to touch, behind the scenes. It's a bit like Windows that way; it's made it easier to manage if you're doing something pre-configured (like starting/stopping an existing service), but if you want to do something custom you have to do a *lot* of digging to figure out how to make it work. Some of the new stuff (like NWAM network configuration) is not even configurable without a GUI. --=20 David Brodbeck System Administrator,=A0Linguistics University of Washington
