Got The Job Done
I used this book as my primary study reference and passed. Overall, I found this study guide useful, accurate, and reasonably complete, although the answers to the questions at the end of each chapter were incomplete.As always, it helps to combine practice exams with study material. The practice exams on the CD were OK, although I thought the Boson tests were better. If you are going after your Solaris 8 certs, it'll get the job done.

Lacking in many ways.
While this book is informative, it is in no way a good reference guide in preparing for the exam. The author fails to deliver many key areas that are essential for the exam. Also, the test questions are not good enough to get you prepared for the exam.I was forced to use the SUN manual for this exam i.e. SA-387. The book also contains many errors, too much errors for a book of this kind. Be warned. If you plan to use this book, make sure that you have allot of hands on experience with Solaris and also make sure that you have a good reference guide to back it up. The verdict, this book is a good paper weight.

a so so book
Technically inaccurate in many, many places, I would definitely not consider it the "Training Guide" it claims to be. However, if you want a half way decent overview of various Networking topics, and want to know just enough to cover the exam, then the information in this book is helpful. If you really want to be a professional Network Administrator, I would suggest reading the "Suggested Readings and Resources" section at the end of each chapter or avoiding this book altogether and picking up a copy of "UNIX System Administration Handbook" (Nemeth, et. al.) and/or a few O'Reilly books.
