	Does /usr/local/etc exist?

	By default BIND on Solaris tries to create a UNIX domain
	socket call /usr/local/etc/ndc.  The location can be
	controlled via a controls block in named.conf or the default
	location can be changed via DESTRUN in
	src/port/solaris/Makefile.set.  This also changes the
	default for ndc.

	NOTE BIND 8.2.3 the default location is /usr/local/etc/ndc.d/ndc
	as Solaris requires that the containing directory be secure as
	the OS ignores the permissions on the socket itself.
