I'm tasked with doing the following:
Expose /some/software/sockets UDS to each of the non-global zones
I have no idea how to do that or what that means, exactly, in the context of
SmartOS.
I have a PCI card supported by SmartOS which utilies UDS. Said card and
supporting software is working
as expected within the global zone.
One thing that would make said software work better would be if I could add a
generic user/group to the global zone.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Generally, you can create UNIX domain sockets in the global zone, and if you
put the path to them in a filesystem that is mounted inside the local zone,
then that local zone will be able to attach. This is a kind of way to enable
communication between the GZ and the local zone.
Note that generally zones don’t share filesystems, so typically you can’t use
this to get between to distinct local zones. There may be some tricks to make
even that work, but to be honest I’ve not tried — it seems like it would be a
bad idea.
I suspect that setting up a lofs mounted filesystem for the zones at
provision time that mounts in the path where the unix sockets are being
created would do the trick.
Search the vmadm man page for "lofs".
