As I play with openpkg towards the goal of deploying it on production
systems, one issue that's come up is what the bootstrap touches outside
the openpkg root dir. I built the
openpkg-1.1.1-1.1.1.sparc64-solaris2.8-oo.sh and corresponding .rpm from
source.

I noticed that things like /etc/shells, user accounts, /etc/rc?.d
symlinks, etc. are handled inside this script.

It also appears that as long as I run as non-root, none of those actions
will be performed. However, if I want to customize the install (e.g. I
want only the /etc/rc?.d stuff), what's the best strategy?

Is there a list of what root privs are required for when running the above
.sh script? Or is my best bet to read through the script? Is there
anything different in terms of file permissions that might result from not
running as root? (I'm using an acct 'opkg' which I specified in the
--user= argument when running openpkg*src.sh).

Thanks,
