We're adding support for SMF to all our products, and are having an argument about the correct names for each service. To keep all our services together, we're intending to use FMRIs looking like <category>/<companyname>/<service>:<instance>.
Our products are an X.500/LDAP server, an SMTP and X.400 MTA (multiple services), and an IMAP/POP message store (also multiple services). We're expecting some customers to need multiple instances of some of these services on a single box. The only docs I've been able to dig up (at bigadmin) suggest that either the application or network categories would be appropriate. How do we choose? The bigadmin doc gives an example of apache as something in the application category. However Solaris 10 *actually* has a network/http:apache2 service :-) Thanks for any advice!
