You can find the PID of nagios and then "ptree <pid>".  This will give 
you the parent, plus any grandparents all the way up.  However, for 
something like ssh started by SMF, the parent pid is 1 (init) so this 
does not tell you much.

More usefully, if you suspect it's started from inetd, type "inetadm" on 
it's own which will list all of the inetd-managed services.  You can 
then use "inetadm" to enable/disable some of these.

Finally, if this also shows nothing, look in /etc/rc*.d/S*, not 
/etc/init.d, since the rc*.d directories are what actually gets run on 
startup for legacy services outside smf and inetadm.
