inetd has a dependency on filesystem/local. If fs/local is in maintenance then you must fix this problem and once fs/local comes online, inetd will come online automatically. You can check /var/adm/messages and /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log for any errors at the time fs/local started. Fix the issue and run "svcadm clear filesystem/local:default" to clear the maintenance state. -- Renaud
