Not automatically via the pkgadd std installation. See the man mysql page for sxde b79 when available. But if you want to use the easy to use SAMP Options UI I developed, the init script would correctly set up your environement before you can use the Start Menus or the entire stack.

The issue is much more complex with ARC, and the way Opensolaris components are build. Fyi, in the future IPS system, there is currently no way to 'add a user' or run a script (postinstall or preremove), and I think the discussion is still going on for the best way to do that or not. Today, in the sfw consolidation, one must modify a global file to add users, which is not a nice way since it breaks the component model (pick and choose the packages you need for your distro: you would need N global files, so the are not global anymore...) > Also, with Postgres, when you start the service, it automatically > initializes the database. > > We need the same thing for mysql - We are in b79, assuming the mysql user is there. > all the user should have to do is > start the service and then be ready to start programming against > MySQL.

Solaris is pretty good as is for core ux guys.
