Umm, that service requires no initialization (as per man page)... something else is wrong.
btw, service-fmri means service "uri" eg. svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default For smserver, we can see the status using: mritun at spot ~% svcs -l smserver fmri svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default name removable media management enabled true state online next_state none state_time Sun May 25 14:18:04 2008 restarter svc:/network/inetd:default dependency require_all/restart svc:/network/rpc/bind (online) The "restarter" as reported above is "svc:/network/inetd:default". So lets check it: mritun at spot ~% svcs -x svc:/network/inetd:default svc:/network/inetd:default (inetd) State: online since Sun May 25 14:18:02 2008 See: inetd(1M) See: /var/svc/log/network-inetd:default.log Impact: None. For your case it seems inetd is not running. You can check log file given above (/var/svc/log/network-inetd:default.log) to see what is wrong. May be hostname/IP isn't configured... but that would be strange. I remember something like that happening during very early time when I started playing with osol. I think while intending to unplumb an nic I unplumbed all of them (ifconfig -a unplumb). This had the unintended effect of even unplumbing the loopback interface (lo0) and caused every thing thats depends on network to fail left and right on next boot. Fixed it by plumbing the loopback interface again. This message posted from opensolaris.org
