SMF is already filled up with so much stuff that at a certain point, it starts

rid of scripting during package installation and offloading all of that stuff
to SMF as well! Jeepers creepers this is going to be tough to admin!
SysV packages had shell scripts in them, or at least I think they did, but then
again I'm no UNIX expert.
That's a valid complaint, and I don't think the answer is set in stone
yet - that is, theres still room for ideas as to where to implement such
functionality. SVR4 packages did indeed allow (arbitrary) shells
scripts, both pre- and post-install (and pre- and post-remove). This
is a useful function, and discussions on it and related topics belong
over in install-disc...@opensolaris.org
