>Description:
/etc/postinstall fails if the smmsp user/group do not exist, this
was changed recently, as far as i can tell. This change should be mentioned
in UPDATING as is the sshd user thing, but is not.
>How-To-Repeat:
update current, run /etc/postinstall check
>Fix:
I'm not sure about some of this, mainly the date and the home directory for
the smmsp user.
