By default, when Oracle Solaris is installed, a large set of network services are disabled. This configuration is called “Secure by Default” (SBD). With SBD, the only network service that accepts network requests is the sshd daemon. All other network services are disabled or handle local requests only. To enable individual network services, such as ftp, you use the Service Management Facility (SMF) feature of Oracle Solaris. For more information, see the netservices(1M) and smf(5) man pages.
