        You're welcome! Now that I've contributed something I wont feel so
bad complaining about the tutorial and reference guides (especially the
tutorial!), which I will do another time.

        That's probably the best way to do it. I put the manifest in
/var/svc/manifest/application and rebooted, which seemed to import the
service in a disabled state (that's how 'svcs -a' listed it), and then
I could enable it with svcadm.

        As you reported in an email to me, this seems to be due to there
being no libcrypto in your shared library path, and the one that Sun
includes in /usr/sfw/lib serves when you add that directory to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in the control script.

        I don't have this, and the script works for me. I think it's because
I linked in SSL statically when I built cfengine on Solaris 10.

        I copied stuff from /var/svc/manifest/network/ssh.xml then I
put together the cfservd manifest, and one of the things I left out was
the following dependency block:

        <dependency name='cryptosvc'
                grouping='require_all'
                restart_on='none'
                type='service'>
                <service_fmri value='svc:/system/cryptosvc' />
        </dependency>

        It'd be interesting to add that to the dependencies and see how it
behaves. I wonder if it would define a shared libray search path or
something, or perhaps just cause an error message.

Yours,
