	OK, thanks sounds like the projects are aligned (or at least
	moving that way ;-).  I guess I'm personally interested in
	the PM teams upcoming work.  Particularly since uadmin(1M)
	related changes have broken thing related to shutting down
	the system when smf was hozed and properly closing out the
	audit subsystem during orderly shutdown.

	For this case, I'll let an LSARC member +1.

Thankx,
Gary..
