I've just recently upgraded one of our servers to Solaris 10 and users
lost the ability to access the tape drive in our e250.

When users do a `tar tvf /dem/rmt/0` they get permission denied.

/etc/minor_perm

I've done a `reboot -- -r` and it comes up just the same each time...
Am I missing something? Is there a way to make this persistent across
reboots without having to create a startup script?
