I actually agree with NOT packaging the file that is fattached() to, 
nscd, kcfd, syseventd, syslogd, picld, don't do that so I don't think 
dlmgmtd should either.

My suggestion of using /etc/dladm/ was to avoid the need to start as 
root merely to create /var/run/dladm as a dir owned by the dladm user. 
Cathy has pointed out though that dlmgmtd needs to start as root for 
other reasons though.  Given that I think /var/run is a better place 
than /etc/dladm/ and since it is in /var/run it shouldn't (nay can't) be 
packaged.
