[csw-maintainers] write access to tape devices

Hi All,

I want to have the new bacula packages run as non-root while still
allowing them to write to tape devices.  I've never used tape backup
on solaris before...Can someone confirm that group membership in 'sys'
is good enough to allow this?  Poking at a few of my systems seem to
indicate that this fits with the /devices/ target of /dev/rmt/0, but
I'd rather hear from someone with experience.

Thanks
-Ben
