sys_smb privilege in zones needed for Samba

While installing Samba in a zone on an snv_86 installation, I noticed that Samba's smbd is unable to bind to port 445. Doing a little research, this appears to be because the default privilege set for zones lacks the sys_smb.

As a temporary workaround, I added the privilege to the zone configuration:
set limitpriv=default,sys_smb

Is there a reason why the sys_smb privilege is not given to a zone by default? If not, I would like to suggest adding it.

I just upgraded to snv_89 from snv_75a and suddenly my samba mounts are no longer working.
Thanx for this workaround, this fixed my samba problem.

I say +1 for adding "sys_smb" to default
