The Solaris disk device naming scheme should be /dev/[r]dsk/c0t0dNsN.
Page 137
The original Winchester disk was apparently named after the Winchester 30-30 rifle. It had two spindles, each of which stored 30 million bytes. If your copy of the book says that the disk was named after the Winchester Mystery House, well, we just made that up. Sorry.
Page 153
An HP-UX select code is a hardwre slot identifier and does not necessarily correspond to a major device number, as is stated in the text.
Page 154
The text is not incorrect, but it really should mention that the nt parameter is the number of tracks per cylinder (i.e. the number of surfaces) NOT the number of tracks per surface (i.e. the number of cylinders).
Page 161
"129 * 29" should actually be "139 * 29".
Page 197
Long-filename versions of tar are not necessarily incompatible. For example, gnutar files with long names can be unpacked with regular tar, but the extracted files may have funny names.
Page 256
Subnet numbers consisting of all zeros or all ones are officially frowned upon, but they are sometimes used in practice.
Page 267
BSD/OS versions 2.0 and up support gated, but prior versions did not.
Page 289
Bill Metcalfe should be Bob Metcalfe. Sorry, Bob.
Page 356
Only recent versions of BIND understand SIGIOT/SIGABRT as a signal to dump statistics.
Page 364
"Heterogenous" should be "heterogeneous".
Page 415
"DIN-9" should really be "mini DIN-8". (This error occurs twice on this page.)
Page 451
The comments regarding Perl's use of system are not accurate; much depends on how the programmer uses Perl.
Page 453
queuemh is included as part of the mh package.
Page 612
In the lpadmin command, -I and should be -I any.
Page 621
The block sizes reported by du, df, and quot on HP-UX should be 512 for du and df, and 1024 for quot.
Page 627
Modes on the quotas file should be 644, not 600. Otherwise, people can't see their own quotas.
