Let me second the endorsement of the Blueprints articles, and not just the 
security ones.  In general they're much better written and have more depth 
than the standard Sun documentation--and sometimes they're in proper 
conflict with the standard docs as well.

In the security realm, the pieces by Alex Noordergraaf would seem 
especially appropriate for hardening a Solaris box, such as "Solaris 
Operating Environment Network Settings for Security: Updated for Solaris 9 
Operating Environment", "Auditing System Security", "Solaris Operating 
Environment Security: Updated for Solaris 9 Operating Environment", etc.
