It should, but I think this problem may go back pre-r151020, hell, it may go back to the genesis of ipkg zones.

Try this to see what I mean:

1.) Run "zlogin -C <zonename>" in a window.

2.) Shutdown the zone.

3.) On one command line:  "zoneadm -z <zonename> boot ; zoneadm -z <zonename> shutdown".

You will see this error on the console:

	INIT: smf(5) repository server not running.

And that's it!

Since shutdown(1M) doesn't bother checking if "init {$initstate}" succeeds, it just returns, leaving the zoneadm & zoneadmd pair to wait and eventually timeout. In this situation, the zone never shuts down, but comes up all the way instead.

Hope this helps,
Dan
