Here's one I made while Solaris 10 was still in beta, works great on sol
8, 9 and 10. 

 http://www.campin.net/download/NCsysng-1.6.7-1.pkg.gz

A couple things come to mind where it's creator realizes it's not
perfect: 

1) the RC script(s) are embedded in the postinstall and postremove
scripts, it doesn't preserve any local changes you made to it (doesn't
matter on solaris 10 obviously, since the package uses the SMF).

2) it'll install a couple uneeded files on solaris 8 and 9 pertaining to
the SMF facility in sol10. It doesn't hurt anything, but it's not
pretty. I'm too lazy to fix it since I only used this package on solaris
10.

I don't plan on maintaining an up to date package all the time, but I'll
fix any errors anyone points out in the package and update the version
if I'm in there fixing the package anyways.
