This looks sort of like what happened to me just now. I tried svcs -x
and got:
# svcs -x
svc:/network/rpc/gss:default (Generic Security Service)
State: uninitialized since Mon Apr 18 13:01:12 2005
Reason: Restarter svc:/network/inetd:default has not initialized service state.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-4D
See: gssd(1M)
Impact: 10 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)
svc:/network/service:default (layered network services)
State: offline since Mon Apr 18 13:01:29 2005
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: ifconfig(1M)
See: /var/svc/log/network-service:default.log
Impact: 4 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)
svc:/application/print/server:default (LP print server)
State: disabled since Mon Apr 18 13:01:12 2005
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.

Impact: 1 dependent service is not running. (Use -v for list.)
I tried all kinds of things to get gss to run, but I finally realized that
it was really ifconfig that was the problem. The system has two
network interfaces, and during installation I gave both of them
a name. However, hme1 was not really connected to anything.
All I did to get it to work was
# cd /etc
# mv hostname.hme1 no.hme1
After that, I rebooted, and everything came up OK. I don't know
if the original problem was the same, but this solved my problem.
