This is because service boundaries are decided by the contract, rather than the process parent. When the service is disabled all processes in the contract are stopped. (I went through some details on this in: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/lianep?entry=smf_5_and_fault_isolation if you'd like some more background.) You can look at the contract tree by using "ptree -c". To see it for telnet only, you can use: $ ptree -c `pgrep telnet` Unfortunately, it shouldn't be this way -- user processes under all forms of login should be in a separate contract. Nico fixed this for ssh, and we're tracking the fix for telnet under: 5100725 all forms of login (e.g. telnet, rlogin, etc.) must be made contract-aware To work around this, you can use ctrun(1) to execute your daemon in a separate contract, or use ssh rather than telnet. Sorry that you're hitting this bug. :( I've updated it with the workarounds described above and increased its priority. liane _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
