Your start method launches rsync with --daemon, so I assume it will spawn a long-running process. This would cause your stop method -- :kill -- to fail, which explains the "Reason: Method failed." message. :kill is illegal for transient services, because no processes are kept track of to kill.

There wasn't a problem bringing the service online -- the problem occurred when you disabled it. Since you declared the service to be transient, you should be able to find the process with ps or pgrep, but it svcs -p won't associate it with the service. > And in the log file, there is now : > > :tail -f /var/svc/log/network-rsync:default.log > ... > [ Dec 11 15:20:55 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ] > [ Dec 11 15:20:55 Disabled. ] > [ Dec 11 15:21:41 Enabled. ] > [ Dec 11 15:21:41 Executing start method ("/usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon > > --config=/usr/local/etc/rsyncd.conf --port=873") ] > [ Dec 11 15:21:41 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] > [ Dec 11 15:22:23 Stopping because service disabled. ] > : Hmm, no useful error messages. Indeed, http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/svc/startd/method.c#709 shows that we log an error for this situation, but not to the service's log file. Check the console, /var/adm/messages, or /var/svc/log/svc.startd.log for ":kill with no contract". I'll file a bug to make svc.startd send an error message to the service's log file, too.
