Question Where can I find details of what various Solaris packages do?

Among varous other items, I'm trying to find out what "Authentication Management Infrastructure" (package SUNWamix) does, and why would a sysadmin disable it? The reason given is 'for security purposes' without explanation ... how and why is AMI such a 'security risk' that it has to be turned off? I searched docs.sun.com but found no detailed info there.

For background sake, I'm an ex-sysadmin, now just a 'user', and sysadmins at my company have been changing configs (turning various stuff off in inetd.conf) on the systems I use without explanation ... they break functionality of tools I use .

tia ...
