Also, BIND binaries are located in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin --sorry I forgot to mention that. I went ahead and re-compiled with ./configure --enable-full-report --with-gssapi=krb5-config --sysconfdir=/etc --with-openssl=/usr/local --localstatedir=/var --enable-fixed-rrset and installed it, now the default directories are correct but the service still goes into maintenance with the same error as produced by named -c /etc/named.conf -g.
I apologize that my inexperience makes this confusing.

OK, thanks I did not read it closely enough the first time. However it is still not loading. I had disabled svc:/network/dns/server:default prior to running the command to avoid 2 instances of named running and got the above output. When I enable it, it goes into maintenance. When I try named -c /etc/named.conf -g when dns/server is enabled (in maintenance) I get the same result as above.
Note: the named.conf file is blank.

Hi Jim,
Installed BIND 9.16.3 and I discovered that the SMF dns/server is
trying to read named.conf from /usr/local/etc/:
"/usr/local/etc/named.conf: file not found". I am trying to figure
out how point named to read /etc/named.conf.
I last touched SMF over 15 years ago, and I don't remember enough about
it now, so I can't speak for the SMF parts of your question.
I did try re-compiling BIND with different switches but it resulted
in the same thing. Is there an environment variable or a ./configure
switch to re-point the default to /etc/named.conf? I tried '--sysconfdir=/etc' --no luck there. Do I edit the manifest file?
This *is* the correct way to define the default location of named.conf.
I attempted named -c /etc/named.conf with no luck
This *must* work. However, your description "no luck" isn't enough. Can
you describe exactly what happened when you named "named -c
/etc/named.conf"?
$ named -g:
Run "named -c /etc/named.conf -g" and see what happens.
Regards,
Anand
