Try 'svcadm enable rpc/bind' once this service is running, all those offline service should start and transition to online state Just for the sake of being paranoid, can you check if you have configd and startd running? Last time I was thrown off like this configd was not running in the system and any attempt to change service state would fail. But that's was on a much recent build (snv_101 I think). Antonello
