did you do an image-update, or something that creates a different BE?
if that has happened and you modify configuration files in /etc they will be
altered in the currently booted BE, not in the one that will be booted after
a shutdown.

"beadm list" should enable you to see the "boot environments" you have on
your system and with beadm you should be able to mount those environments to
check if the config files are set in those instances.

It confused me a few times ...
