This page has expanded since I was searching a few weeks ago. Thanks for 
that. I understand that the project has no direct Solaris expertise.

There are some things that could be made easier to follow and others 
that seem inconsistent with the mailing list thread that I found. Maybe 
some are just different ways of doing the same thing.

I started to point some some differences in this email, but its probably 
best if I go through the mailing list link that I found and the web page 
you referenced, systematically, and list what the differences are. I'll 
be in touch when I have done that.

In the meantime I noticed a few of small html link issues on the web 
page you referenced...

1) Under the section Solaris 8/9/10 / Configuring Client Authentication
the link to the reference files in /var/ldap 
(http://www.freeipa.com/page/ConfiguringUnixClients#Client_Configuration_Files), 
for me,  resolves to the top level "Open Source Community page" 
http://community.redhat.com/software/. I do however see the files 
correctly linked from the section "Client Configuration Files" at bottom 
of the page.

2) There is the same issue for the links to the nsswitch.conf and 
pam.conf files linked in items 2 and 4 below the above - sorry, its hard 
to describe well where these links are.

And it would be good if the patch ("Patch to update Solaris 
documentation") that is referred to in Solaris 8/9/10 / Additional 
resources could be applied to the original document and the patched 
document made available, or at least the information in it.


Thanks

Roderick
