For now i have removed original bind package and builded and installed 9.3.2 from ISC. Problem is named in offline mode each reboot. If i make root at ara[~]#svcadm refresh dns/server:chroot named starts without any problem. Look's like SMF don't know that named should be started. What i can do? For now only idea is to write a script and start it is /etc/rc3.d. But that is not a SMF way. This message posted from opensolaris.org
