I just spent a week trying to figure out what's going on here as I was having
the same problem with nis/client. The culprit is
/lib/svc/method/sysidtool-system (svc:/system/sysidtool:system), lines 31-40:
#
# If we are run during a reconfigure boot, apply the ns_none
# name service profile to clear name services.
#
if [ -x /usr/sbin/svccfg ] ; then
if [ -f /var/svc/profile/ns_none.xml ] ; then
/usr/sbin/svccfg apply /var/svc/profile/ns_none.xml \
>/dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
This essentially disables nis/client, regardless of whether or not you enable
it in site.xml, since sysidtool-system runs after manifest-import. I am not
sure whether to consider this a bug or not, but it should at least be
documented somewhere.
The solution I'm using is to rename ns_none.xml during post-install scripts so
the -f test fails.
