You end up packaging an empty type f file; the namefs door mount happens
on top of that... so Darren is right, the _door_ isn't package; the file
that is packaged
is what is the door mounts on top of w/ fattach.
According to the fattach man page (and common sense), the file will need
to be
writable by the dlmgmtd process:
int fattach(int fildes, const char *path);
DESCRIPTION
The fattach() function attaches a STREAMS- or doors-based
file descriptor to an object in the file system name space,
effectively associating a name with fildes. The fildes argu-
ment must be a valid open file descriptor representing a
STREAMS or doors file. The path argument is a path name of
an existing object and the user must have appropriate
privileges or be the owner of the file and have write per-
missions.
