Hi,

Every good Solaris Admin should be aware of the following, notice I said aware and not be an expert... Because once you're aware you're half way there

How to check log files. (mem/CPU/Disk/Network)
Understand users/groups/shares/file permissions
How to get the server on the networked (Static/DHCP)
Basic understanding of inodes/Super blocks/fsck
UFS and ZFS file systems / Formatting / Partitioning / Mounting / quotas......
DNS/TCP-IP knowledge
Basic email systems knowledge
Basic Routing knowledge (e.g How traffic gets from one place to another on sub-nets)
Basic Knowledge Of Ports and Sessions/how firewalls work
Basic knowledge of how backups work ( Full/Incremental/Differential)
Different run level start up scripts and svcs/svcadm....
remote tools (ssh,telnet,rlogin,rsh,scp,rsync)

......... And after all that then you have to start learning the tools and applications that go on top...Well hope this helps and good luck.

I'm sure i've missed alot of stuff here, so if anyone had anything to add feel free.

rquotad

rquotad(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       rquotad(1M)

NAME

       rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nfs/rquotad

DESCRIPTION

       rquotad	is  an rpc(4) server which returns quotas for a user of a local file system which is mounted by a remote machine over the NFS. The
       results are used by quota(1M) to display user quotas for remote file systems. The rquotad daemon is normally invoked by inetd(1M).

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of rquotad when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

FILES

       quotas	quota file at the file system root

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWnfssu 		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations

NOTES

       The rquotad service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/nfs/rquota

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
       ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
       uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.

       If  it  is disabled, it will be enabled by mount_nfs(1M), share_nfs(1M), and automountd(1M) unless  its	     application/auto_enable prop-
       erty is set to false.
