2008/507 [ OpenLDAP for OpenSolaris]

[Doug Leavitt]

As the person looking to integrate this FOSS in a reasonable time frame,
I would prefer not to add any IPS dependencies to this case.

The [optional] SMF manifest, and resulting user/group were written as an
administrative convenience for the expected administrator.  The manifest
and resulting issue could be removed, if PSARC desires...  Or other...
