Errata Report in "Solaris for Dummies"

A reader of Solaris 9 for Dummies reports:

"Is there a typo in Chapter 15? I'm referring to page 288-289. The book says you should modify the S30network.sh file in step 3 then says you should modify the same place in the same file in step 6. (although this time 'shcat' is just 'cat') I was wondering if in step 6 I should be actually modifying a different file rather than remodify the change just made?"

Dave's Answer:

Right you are! The problem on this page is that the reference to S30network.sh in step #6 should actually be S72inetsvc. Then it all works and makes sense.

If you find another typo or other erratum in this, or any of my books, please do contact me to let me know, so we can fix it in a subsequent printing!
