Aduva goes Sun
According to an article on The Register Sun has bought a patch management company called Aduva.
the article addresses the number one pain point of IT admins, which is patch management.
just browse on any online forums or take a peek into the various mailing-lists and you'll see a trend about the problems with patching Solaris boxes.
while Solaris is considered a great and rock solid OS (i can agree with some years of experience running Solaris 7, 8 and now 10 on SPARC and x86) , the patch management has always been reasonably difficult.
this could well be Sun's answer to implement a new patch implementation.

Enabling services in single-user mode
If you want or need a service started while in single-user mode (boot -s) on a Solaris 10 box, svcadm(1M) is your friend.
svcadm(1M) enables you to temporarily enable a service (svcadm enable -t) , getting you around the smf(5) repository not yet being writable.
if your service requires other services, just tell svcadm(1M) to recursively enable all these services by passing the -r option.
so to sum it all up, use svcadm -rt your_service to temporarily enable your service and all the required services while being in single-user mode.
