If you'd caught it when the "*" was there, it likely would have told
you that the service was currently running and was in the process of
stopping, with the service method still running.

I don't think it's "false," though misleading may be accurate.

Actually, it shows what really happened. The server was configured to
run by default:
> [ Mar 16 10:37:41 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server
> start"). ]
When it ran, it discovered that no actual NFS shares were configured
on the system:
> No NFS filesystems are shared
> [ Mar 16 10:37:41 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
So, it disabled *itself*:

> [ Mar 16 10:37:41 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server

For the terminally curious, a quick scan of that method script reveals
this:
if [ $startnfsd -ne 0 ]; then
[...]
else
/usr/sbin/svcadm disable -t svc:/network/nfs/server
echo "No NFS filesystems are shared"
Note the use of "svcadm disable" (the administrative interface to
disable a service) and "-t" (a flag indicating a temporary disable
request).

Given that you're having client problems, I think this is probably
barking up the wrong tree.
