This is to summarize the answer to my question which I posted yesterday.
Special thanks to James Wendling who provided the following answer.
Thanks also to Kris Briscoe who was first to respond. I put the
question after Wendling's correct answer which worked %100 for me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The thing I found was that in Solaris several
>devices get set to be owned by the user who logs in on the console and
the
>mode is 600. I found that if I su'd to root and changed the mode to
666, then
>su'd to the new account, everything worked.
The devices are below so you could create a little
>script to do it for you as root:
>/devices/pseudo/cn@0:console
>/devices/pseudo/conskbd@0:kbd
>/devices/pseudo/consms@0:mouse
>/devices/sbus@1,f8000000/cgsix@3,0:cgsix0 (this may be different
depending on
> your graphics card)

>The following two I didn't change the mode of but they most likely need
to be

>/devices/audio@1,f7201000:sound,audio
>/devices/audio@1,f7201000:sound,audioctl
