Summary:                    ln "cannot create" link seen install
Description: 
This might not matter (but how would I know?) and should be handled so it
doesn't worry me:

Installing class <cswinitsmf> ...
WARNING! FMRI path contained an illegal dot (removed)
New FMRI path: network
Creating service script in /var/opt/csw/svc/method/svc-cswapache2 ...
ln: cannot create /var/opt/csw/svc/method/svc-cswapache2: File exists

...actually, the second issue with the ln shouldn't happen either, I don't
think.  How did you perform this upgrade?  pkg-get/pkgutil or manual?

The error is still harmless (generated in i.cswinitsmf) but it shouldn't
happen normally.  Although cswinitsmf can be modified to prevent the error,
I'd prefer to understand the circumstances in which the script would need
to do this.

This should be addressed in the lastest release (of both cswinitsmf and
apache).
