Unfortunately I had no luck with this one and ended up having to
reboot the machine. Those who tried to help out are:

Subject: defunct process attached to a port.
I have a defunct telnet process which is attached to port 23.
Because of this, no other processes (inetd) can attach to the port
so all incomming telnet connections are refused. Is there any way to
kill off this process without rebooting the machine? Killing the
parent process will not work since the parent process ID is 1.
The system is running:
SunOS machinename 5.6 Generic_105181-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
A ps of the command gives:
8 Z root 19951 1 0 0 0:00 <defunct>
An lsof of the process id gives:
