In SVR4, NWAM changes the group of the "dladm" user in the postinstall scripts. Since there are no postinstall scripts in IPS, what suggestions do you guys have for achieving this? In the on_ips repository, I changed usr/src/pkg/opensolaris_overrides/etc/passwd as suggested in the README but /etc/passwd was not updated. I also added lines "user ...." lines in the manifest, but that didn't help either.

Also, the postinstall script changes the group and permissions on some files. Again, how would we achieve this? In the manifest (using on_ips repository), I removed the "preserve=true" and the file group and permissions changed. Liane mentions that the code bails out before setting the mode and groups if "preserve=true". Is this intentional? Am I doing it correctly by removing the "preserve=true" for the files that I want to change group and permissions?

Thanks,
Anurag
