i fully agree to Nick's suggestions, doing Solaris admin tasks since
over 12 years ago. Take a look at newer apache installs provided by Sun,
they do it the same way now.

What about inetconv(1M) for fresh/new installs ? It's as simple as
adding another line into standard inetd.conf and then run inetconv, as
well as running e.g. on a client:

 inetadm -m svc:/network/amanda/udp:default \
 "exec=/opt/amanda/libexec/amandad -auth=foobar ..."

whenever upgrading. Don't forget to upgrade amidxtape and amandaidx on a
server.
