inetd.conf in Solaris 10

[mjackson]

In Solaris 10 inetd.conf has been replaced by smf service. To convert inetd.conf into smf format run the following command:

#inetconv

The services gets enabled immediately and it will be persistent across reboots.

Once you converted inetd.conf you may remove entries from inetd.conf as they are no longer needed and system won't use them anyway. The following are the steps to do sol:

Make sure bpd is running

#inetadm | grep bpd

Remove the service from inetd.conf

#inetadm -d imaps/bpd
#svccfg delete imaps/bpd

I understand that this is recommended on all Sol 10 releases but is required on the later patch releases.
