One comment, (not on the code) but on the lack of modularity of the 
opensolaris system in this area, where users/groups have to be 
defined/hardcoded globally and not in a package that would be installed 
only when the MySQL packages are installed.

Imagine I would like in the future to have an opensolaris distro 
tailored to a new iPhone device. I am not sure I would like to see a 
MySQL or WebServd user in this distribution.

How the newly designed IPS system would handle the dynamic addition of 
users/groups? Not a question for the webstack alias, but maybe someone 
has the answer there?
Thanks,

Ludo
