In essence, inetd pretty much doesn't run any more. It's now done with the svcadm command and its ilk. Not sure what is the 'default' but some of the things inetd used to do (defined in inetd.conf) got translated to the new way but default to 'disabled'. I.e. if you do a 'svcs -a' you will see all the services and their status (enabled or disabled). Some of the ones I see on this box (Solaris 10): disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/dhcp-server:default ... disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/daytime:dgram disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/daytime:stream disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/discard:dgram disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/discard:stream disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/echo:dgram disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/echo:stream disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/time:dgram disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/time:stream disabled Apr_15 svc:/network/ftp:default ... So if you want to start them you'd use svcadm.
