This is used by the mdns depot server.  It runs with the privilige of a
normal user, instead of becoming root and dropping its privs.

The smf part of the code that specifies this lives in our gate at
src/svc/pkg-mdns.xml.

I had introduced this user and group when I putback mDNS support, but it
looks like that was somehow accidentally omitted when we switched to
building our packages natively.  (See also
src/util/distro-import/140/common/package\:pkg)

Let me know if my explanation doesn't make sense.

Thanks,
