hello. I'm a new-bie to the solaris system administation
and wanted to burn an image of a program to a cd-rom
without using the tools provided by vendors for this
purpose. Would there be a way to make an image of
the Unix File System and then burn it to a cd-rom ?
Thanks in advance.

man mkisofs

To create an image of everything under a directory "/user/test"

mkisofs -o image.iso -R -J -hfs /user/test

then you can burn the resulting image.iso file with any cdburner
or with Solaris "cdrw"

cdrw -i image.iso

Wouldn't that create a ISO image, not a UFS one as the OP asked?
