init.d stores system startup and service management script. For example to star ssh, one can enter:
Code:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
However, new version comes with Service Management Facility (SMF) - a feature of that creates a supported, unified model for services and service management on each Solaris system and replaces old init.d scripts.

inetd is internet superserver daemon. It manages connections for several services. When a connection is received by inetd, it determines which program the connection is destined for, spawns the particular process and delegates the socket to it (the program is invoked with the service socket as its standard input, output and error descriptors).
