Try 'svccfg apply /var/svc/profile/generic_limited_net.xml'. I seem to
recall that it doesn't disable enough ... I've been in Birmingham all
week and all last week's tinkering seems to have been lost.

'svcadm disable sendmail' doesn't seem too tricky when compared with 'rm
-f /etc/rc?.d/S??sendmail'. It's kind of tricky trimming down services
as part of a custom Jumpstart ... you need to insert a custom site.xml
into the right place. Personally I've used the SMF stuff enough to
prefer it to the Unix way(*), but it takes time.

(* Although I don't like the way that different Unixes are diverging so
much).
