It is now the third or fourth time that I have to do a power-off reboot of 
Solaris on one of my boxes (x86_64, all running SXCE b66) - and *each* time, 
Solaris refuses to boot afterwards, no matter what I tried in the single-user 
login I get (I have to admit I have limited knowledge on what to do).  I'm 
disappointed about this lack of robustness, and it's sad to note that such 
problems have nearly never occured to me with Linux or Windows. 

I'm becoming bored of re-installing, and if these problems persist, we might 
need to stop our Solaris efforts.

My questions:
- What can be done to avoid such problems? Assume that a forced shutdown can 
*not* be avoided at all times - this time, a build-process gone wild was eating 
up all memory incl. swap. The system was fully unresponsive.
- This time, "svcs -xv" tells me that two services fail to start because the 
inetd service is not running. However, "svcadm enable 
svc:/network/inetd:defaut" does not fix this, nor does it give me any hint on 
the console or the log (/var/svc/log/network-inetd:default.log).

Any hints?

 thanks, Joachim
