SUMMARY: echod on Solaris 10

Many thanks to:

Tim Bradshaw,
Aleks Feltin and
Luc I. Suryo

for getting me in the right direction. For some reason, in.echod seems  
to be installed on their systems, it is not, however installed on any  
of my Solaris 10 boxes.

Installing SUNWcns is only half the battle however.

After installing it, there is indeed now a /usr/lib/inet/in.echod, but  
running inetadm | grep echo still returns nothing.

Turns out I had to:

Install SUNWcns
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/echo.xml
inetadm -e network/echo:stream
inetadm -e network/echo:dgram

Some of this was in the Solaris IP admin guide (816-4554.pdf) However,  
it made references to "service.dir", but never, (that I could locate  
anyway) alluded to the fact that the "service.dir" was indeed /var/ 
svc/ so I spent too much time trying to locate the echo.xml file.  
(That's what I get for assuming that it would be called echod.xml)

Thanks
