Gaaaah. ugly.not sure. So I'll state some goals, and ask for suggestions.

Optimal Requirements:
  1. CAS script must run in every zone
  2. An init file must be left in"global" area under /opt/csw somewhere.

Thoughts:
  CAS script will only run, if (class tagged) file does not exist in the zone.
 This previously "worked", because by default, files under /etc are
counted as local-to-zone, so
  even though /opt/csw gets mouted shared-read-only, /etc/opt/csw does not.

  /opt/csw/etc/init.d namespace is now somewhat "polluted". We might
attempt to clean it up..
   or to somewhat ignore it from now on.

OOO, I Have An Idea!
We dont actually HAVE to do the "cp". in which case, CAS will always
get triggered!

Details:
  /opt/csw/etc/virtual  (or  /opt/csw/etc/cas, if preferred)

f cswinitsmf /opt/csw/etc/virtual/cswinitscripthere blahblah

Then.. CAS does the following:
  1.  a copy to /opt/csw/etc/init.d/cswinitscript, IF not already present.
  2. either symlinks from /etc/rc to #1, or use SMF, as appropriate
  3. calls "installf", to "register"
/opt/csw/etc/virtual/cswinitscript.. but does NOT create the file in
the actual filesystem

Thus, the CAS should be triggered for each zone alsol
Muahahahah.....






  If we go for the "ignore, and choose new clean one", perhaps
something like the following:

  Perhaps we need a new global-space area to handle this.
