What about them? I really wasn't looking for a list of things that
Solaris does differently, but specific items we can do to better
work with those things - as in the example I gave, don't just tell us
Solaris has ZFS, tell us the file manager should handle ZFS ACL's when
you right click on a file and choose it's properties.
Telling me we have a bunch of command line configuration tools doesn't
help file an RFE for doing something for them in the GUI. I can't
even tell you why a desktop user would care about most of those *adm
commands, nor what part of the desktop would use them other than the
already-in-development Visual Panels system administration GUI.
The only two I see there that jump out at me are:
- Bug buddy should probably know about the core dump settings set by
coreadm, and possibly offer to change them to catch more data
- If you right click on a .iso file in the file manager, it could
offer to use lofiadm to mount it for you, similar to the way disk
image files are handled on MacOS.
