I just asked because "shtool platform" first tries to use this AIX
specific command for determining the OS version. Interesting that it
doesn't exist on PASE...

Well, if you install the "openpkg" package, it initially creates
user/group name/ids, installs a startup-script, installs a cron-job,
etc. The commands for this are in the openpkg.spec's %pre, %preun and
%post sections and they are completely OS-specific. Hence there are
if-clauses for each OS OpenPKG supports. And a quick glance over it
showed me that until now AIX is not there. So, seems like you have
created the user/group, etc. yourself manually, right? But we need to
add the necessary AIX commands for this so it is done automatically. Do
you know what commands are necessary for this under AIX? For instance,
usually one adds an entry to /etc/passwd and then run "pwconv" or
something, etc.
