Summary:                    Postinstall script fails for ca_certificates when
/opt/csw is read-only
Description: 
The postinstall script tries to write to the /opt/csw directory and fails
with an error. It doesn't break anything, it's just a needless error
message.

I read the thread but I still don't understand if a consensus has been
reached.

According to the standard:

 /opt/csw/etc
    Global Configuration files. (Machine-local conf files should go in
    /etc/opt/csw/[softwarename] or /etc/opt/csw) 

It can be discussed but I would think valid certificates are rather
something that are global and should be shared in a shared /opt/csw
scenario (either nfs or zone).


Honestly I personally prefer the "everything by default in /etc/opt/csw
and lofs mount /etc/opt/csw on opt/csw/etc for those who want" scenario but
I prefer to follow the standards. So has the decision been taken on the
/etc/opt/csw move ?
