We want to create the mysql user and mysql group in Solaris, and do it as part of the above mentioned ARC case.
We suggest to use userid 70 and groupid 70, as this seems to be available. We think this is legitimate as the ARC case states: "MySQL will be installed by default with user mysql and group mysql as done in the standard distribution. The default smf script will also start MySQL as mysql user." It is filed a Bugster CR on this as well: 6648757 - mysql delivery doesn't match ARC case Which is also the CR that will be used for delivering the fix to OpenSolaris. We can file a new LSARC onepager if somebody disagrees that LSARC/2007/608 does not cover the creation of mysql user and group in solaris. Regards, Jan S Berg
