Summary:                    cswinitsmf should refuse to create an FMRI with a
dot in the name
Description: 
08:25 <@automaciej> I just discovered that SMF FMRIs don't work if they
have dots in them.
08:25 <@automaciej> like, you can have cswpostgres_8_4, but can't have
cswpostgres_8.4
08:29 < lewellyn> yup
08:29 < lewellyn> it's documented somewhere, in fact.
08:29 <@automaciej> cswclassutils don't catch that
08:29 < lewellyn> that's why sun's services tend to be whatever23 or
whatever_23
08:30 < Dagobert> I guess it is because SMF is designed to be extended to
multi-host at some point in the future and . is a domain-sep. Same thing as
for auto*

I like the idea. It doesn't mean I don't think that cswclassutils shouldn't
check for it; I think that there's a check needed in cswclassutils, and an
additional one in checkpkg to catch the issue as early as possible.
