On a side note... should any consideration be given to removing the mysql user from the passwd package in the 10.2 tree? 10.2 already has a mysql user and group (uid/gid = 74) entered in netinfo. I'm not sure if this mysql user is included in the default install or if it is installed with the optional BSD SDK. If it is installed with the default installation, then I don't see any reason to keep the mysql user in the passwd package in the 10.2 tree, except maybe for the increased maintenance of having different versions in the 10.1 and 10.2 trees.
