This is an annoying bug. general/enabled is 'special'. We always use the most recent copy of the property, not the one from the running snapshot. Thus, if you're getting the property with svcprop, use the -c option and you'll see that general/enabled is really true. Sigh. There's a bug open to hide this from the user, who should be shielded from this implementation wart: 6234283. liane
