For non-inetd based services, to create your own instance with SMF you can do:
svccfg -s network/ssh add myinst and you get ssh:default as well as ssh:myinst. Now suppose I have a telnet service that is run from inetd, its FMRI is svc:/network/telnet:default. Presumably I could take that and do this: svccfg -s network/telnet add myinst If I did this, would telnet:myinst also be an inetd service? To go another step, if I wanted to run an extra inetd, and created a new instance for it using the same mechanism: svccfg -s network/inetd add myinst Would I then get a new instance of rlogin, telnet, etc, to go with inet:myinst and if so, how would these interact with the other :myinst's that I've created?
