    I have used a patch-reboot cycle to make an experiment.
    
    A simple
    
      nmap -p 7010 brnray
    
    is sufficient to shut down port 7010 of my SunRay server
    brnray for good.
    
    This concerns SunRay server software 1.3 on Solaris 8,
    with, maybe, almost the latest patches.

    P.S. A small protocol.  I worked on brnfire; brnray is the SunRay server
    
    brnfire> telnet brnray 7010
    
    > status
    
    [[[output O.K.]]]
    
    brnfire> nmap -p 7010 brnray
    
    --- log entries
