Yes, the instructions run through creating a user and running the daemon as
that user.

It's not as big an issue under OmniOS because it retains the ability to use
the legacy Solaris 11 Express rc.d style init files to run daemons (stick
it in rc.local), however with Solaris 11 there is no practical way to start
up transmission-daemon without using SMF, which is what those instructions
show you how to do.

Must still be something I'm missing ... it never worked for me, there was
always weird unresolvable error during building apps even after installing
all the development tools.
