Solaris Security Review by Alessandro Vesely
Solaris is a kind of Unix
An easy to read introduction to security. Even if it is full of tables, it's not a reference book. It is a guide plenty of hands-on examples.
The first three parts of the book are Introduction, Standalone Systems, and Network-Connected Systems. They focus on each Unix feature, explain it within the Solaris frame of reference, highlight security implications, and mention the resulting administrative tasks. If you lack a course in Unix administration you'll appreciate that. The author also shows how to integrate and update Solaris with Public Domain software that is usually installed with Linux.
Part 4 is an over-simplified story about disaster and recovery. Part 5, the appendices, is a bag of useful information, pointers to interesting web sites, glossary and the like.
