can't you do a workaround like this:
#mv /opt/csw/bin/vimtutor /opt/csw/bin/vimtutor.orig
#vi /opt/csw/bin/vimtutor
  #!/bin/bash
  PATH=/opt/csw/bin:$PATH
  vimtutor
:wq!
#chmod +x /opt/csw/vimtutor

now everyone should be able to run vimtutor

This is a problem because I am using Solaris zones in a classroom environment to teach some basic system administration (including introduction to vi) and to give students the opportunity to implement some UNIX STIG controls. There is one zone per student, and I don't want to modify the default /etc/default/login during zone creation using zonemgr (I want students to go in and do it themselves if they like). Requiring students to first edit /etc/default/login, logout, and log back in, seems to be an unnecessary hurdle.
