Current.ly dns/server does not have a method script. named(1M) is simply started and the default file is /etc/named.conf. So it seems the preferred action would be to start 'named(1m) and have it exit with SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG before forking if the configuration file does not exist. To override the default configuration file another Application option should be added to the manifest, and the file dependency FMRI should be removed. >> Further more use the dependency FMRI as the >> location that named should use for the configuration file: >> > > It'd be better to use an explicit configuration property, which is > looked it in both the method and in the service itself to find the > config file, rather than using the dependency. > > > >>> As I mentioned above, this isn't sufficient, to specify an >>> alternate config file for named to actually use? >>> >>> >> Which is the bug that my code above would address. >> > > Got it.
