   Um ... it is recommended to use Storage Services for viewing only. 
There are
   a few bugs here that can cause unintended disk formatting!

   In addition JDS (GNOME) from Solaris Express Build 54 onwards has 
additional
   nice GUIs for managing Users and Groups, Configure Network without 
rebooting
   etc. Just go to  Main Menu -> Administration and Main Menu -> 
Preferences.
