If not for the "no filtering possible on loopback" limitation in Solaris, I'd
recommend a generic filter policy using the version of Darren Reed's
IP Filter which ships with Solaris 10.  With this limitation, packet filters
do not provide protection against local attacks.

Are you already using generic_limited_net.xml?
Do you have a site profile? (/var/svc/profile/site.xml)

According to smf-discuss (opensolaris list), the next version of JASS
will have SMF support.
