Adapted from the lpadmin man page, for an HP JetDirect printer:
> pfexec lpadmin -p lp01 -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=lp01.example.com:9100 -o protocol=tcp -T PS -I postscript
> pfexec lpset -a banner=never lp01
> pfexec lpadmin -d lp01
> pfexec enable lp01
> pfexec accept lp01
YMMV; adjust as you see fit:

To use pfexec similarly to sudo, use “usermod” to give the account the “Primary Administrator” profile:
# usermod -P’Primary Administrator’ aleonard
“aleonard” will now be able to preface commands with “pfexec” to run them as root, similar to sudo when configured not to prompt for a password.

Configure ‘/usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc’ to meet your needs; for example, to use the access_db and mailertable features:
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)sendmail.mc 1.11 (Sun) 06/21/04′)
OSTYPE(`solaris8′)dnl
DOMAIN(`generic’)dnl
FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -T /etc/mail/access’)
FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable’)
MAILER(`local’)dnl
MAILER(`smtp’)dnl
The new ’sendmail.cf’ can be built in ‘/usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc’ by running ‘make’ as root. Copy the new ’sendmail.cf’ file to ‘/etc/mail’ and restart sendmail by running:
# svcadm [...]
Use “devfsadm”; from the man page:
devfsadm(1M) maintains the /dev namespace. It replaces the previous suite of devfs administration tools including drvconfig(1M), disks(1M), tapes(1M), ports(1M), audlinks(1M), and devlinks(1M).

Edit the following files as appropriate:
/etc/hosts
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.<interface>
/etc/defaultrouter
Reboot to apply the changes, or run:
# svcadm restart network/physical
Here for my reference; adapt for your convenience:
# for snapshot in `zfs list -H -t snapshot -r /opt/datastore | egrep ‘2009\-0[1-8]‘ | awk ‘{print $1}’`; do zfs destroy $snapshot; done
The crle command on Solaris is used to configure the runtime linking environment (get it?). If you are seeing errors similar to the following, you may need to look at and adjust your linking environment with crle:

Using crle is straightforward; to view the current [...]

Use zonecfg to configure the lofs mount; this will work nicely for CDs in addition to ordinary filesystems:
# zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> add fs
zonecfg:zone1:fs> set dir=/depot
zonecfg:zone1:fs> set special=/depot
zonecfg:zone1:fs> set type=lofs

zonecfg:zone1:fs> end
zonecfg:zone1> commit
zonecfg:zone1> exit
special is the directory from the global zone to mount; dir is the mount [...]
